MAJESTIC LAGOONS AND
LANDSCAPES LIKE THE MOON
ICELAND
By Alexandria Ott
Héðinsfjörður
Located at Latitude 67 north, Iceland and its recent rise in tourism
is befitting: With majestically milky hot springs, blistering and bright
volcanoes, landscapes that resemble landing on the moon, unusual
scapes for scuba diving and lava fields inhibited by Santa and his
elves, this Nordic island has quickly become a top destination for
American travelers. In fact, at any given time, more American tourists
inhabit Iceland than Icelandic residents. With a surge in travel deals
from the US to Iceland, journeying to this ancient land has become a
must-do for travel connoisseurs and peace seekers.
