What to Do in Iceland

Walk on Vatnajokull, Solheimajokull and Snaefellsjokull. Ice caves, glacier hikes and crampons on blue ice.

Chase the aurora across Iceland. Best from September to April. KP forecasts, photography tips and top viewing spots.

Visit Fagradalsfjall, Askja and the Laki craters. Iceland sits on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge — geology on a grand scale.

Landmannalaugar, Sprengisandur and Kerlingarfjoll. The last great wilderness of Europe, accessible only by 4WD.

Blue Lagoon, Secret Lagoon, Myvatn Nature Baths and wild hot pots. Geothermal bathing is one of Iceland's greatest luxuries.

Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss, Dettifoss and Dynjandi. Iceland has more waterfalls per square kilometre than almost anywhere on earth.

Puffins at Latrabjarg, whales off Husavik, seals at Jokulsarlon and Arctic fox in the Westfjords.

The Ring Road, Golden Circle, South Coast and Snaefellsnes Loop. Iceland is best explored by car.

Snorkelling in Silfra, snowmobiling on Langjokull, rafting on glacial rivers and paragliding over the fjords.

Landmannalaugar rhyolite mountains, Kirkjufell peak and the Westfjords. Icelandic scenery is relentlessly dramatic.
