SPECTACULAR EXTREMES

EXPLORING ICELAND ’ S GEOLOGICAL WONDERS
By Dayna Engberg
About half the size of Colorado , this Nordic island nation is the most sparsely populated country in Europe , but don ’ t let its size dissuade you . Within Iceland ’ s boundaries lie a wealth of natural phenomena exemplifying the extremes of Mother Nature ’ s wildly diverse personality . She can be calm — like in serene ice-blue glacial caves and desolate windswept fjords . She can be entrancing — in magical waterfalls framed in chartreuse moss and night skies dancing in iridescent auroral light shows . And she can also be explosive — like in turbulent hissing geysers fueled by the fiery rumblings of active volcanoes . Read on to discover three places to experience Iceland ’ s spectacular extremes on a grand scale .
