Iceland is a land of extremes, shaped and defined by the constant interplay of fire and ice. Although the island emerged from the sea nearly 20 million years ago, the fiery forces beneath its volcanic surface are still not finished crafting their masterpiece. In 2010, the Eyjafjallajökull volcano demonstrated its power in an eruption that grounded air traffic across large parts of Northern and Central Europe. It’s no wonder that in the hearts of Icelanders, amidst the wild nature, towering waterfalls, steaming geothermal areas, and rugged fjords, the belief in a supernatural second population of the island is deeply rooted. This volume in the series "66 Highlights" highlights 66 remarkable destinations in this pristine and powerful country, including the temperamental geysers at Haukadalur and the sunlit landscapes.
