In a single day you can stand beside a thundering waterfall, walk on a glacier and soak in a hot spring as steam drifts across the lava fields. The landscapes are vast and quiet, from black-sand beaches in the south to the long fjords of the east and west.
Summer’s near-endless daylight suits an easy pace. Winter trades it for short days and long nights, when the aurora can appear, so the season you pick shapes the route. Either way, well-chosen lodges make it a comfortable adventure for couples and families alike.
