Iceland

A rock lost in the Atlantic Ocean a few kilometers from the Arctic Ocean, Iceland is a state perched on Europe's outskirts. The country is located between Greenland and Norway, geographically closer to the American continent but historically and culturally linked to Europe.

A major tourist destination for some years now, Iceland's tourist attendance keeps increasing. It must be said that the country has everything to charm: Reykjavik's nightlife, fjords and icebergs, waterfalls, hot springs, whale watching, color mosaics making landscapes so surreal you'd think they're "painted", an incredibly vast nature where hiking makes you feel like you're alone in the world, northern lights and active volcanoes.
