Iceland is such a magical country with lots to offer every kind of traveller and native. Boasting a Wonder of the World, home to the amazing Aurora Borealis, and 11% of the country is still in the Ice Age with great Glaciers and Snow capped mountains, it sounds like a setting from a J.R.R. Tolkien novel.
Well, it’s all real and all natural which makes it even more fascinating. We’ve all grown up with fascinations about volcanoes and heard stories of the Northern Lights. Now it can be yours to find.
“Iceland, which I refer to as 'Niceland', is one of the only places on Earth where you will find volcanic activity, hot geothermal soaking pools, and ice blue glaciers set amidst a moon-like landscape.” - Stephanie Michaels, The Huffington Post
Tourism is a huge part of Iceland, and as we mentioned before, the Icelanders cater for every type of traveller!

Imagine Peace Tower
The John Lennon "Imagine Peace Tower" by Yoko Ono
The Peace Tower is a laser beam of light, which penetrates the sky. The light that emanates comes from a wishing well bearing the words "Imagine Peace" in 24 languages, and will be lit each year from Lennon’s birthday Oct. 9 to Dec. 8, his assassination day.
Yoko chose Iceland "because it is a very eco-friendly country that relies on geothermal energy. It's so beautiful.” We think so too.
Find the John Lennon “Imagine Peace Tower” in Viðey Island in Reykjavík, Iceland.
