I am not sure why but these past few days I have just gotten this urge to travel to Iceland. There’s just something about this breathtaking country that is calling my name and do I seriously wish I can just book a ticket right now and go explore the beautiful “Land of Fire and Ice”. Doesn’t that sound epic?
Iceland has the most vast landscapes that just are so simplified and wild and I think that is what completely draws me in. You’d think because it’s called Iceland that there would be plenty of ice everywhere, but that’s not entirely the case. In fact, Greenland is very icy and Iceland is very green. Oh and also don’t forget how interesting this country is – you might be wondering why it’s known as the "Land of light and darkness?"
Well, Iceland has some of the world’s largest active volcanoes and also some of the largest glaciers in all of Europe.
In summertime you definitely won’t have a vitamin D deficiency, cause you get to have nearly 24 hours of sunshine, but you better soak it up because when the cold, winter days come, you’ll only get a few hours of sunlight.
How stunning is this photograph of British photographer, James Appleton – the northern lights and an erupted volcano in one photo?!
I have heard a few times that Iceland is one of the happiest countries in the world! That’s probably because of their good living quality and they’re also very generous people – more reasons why I want to travel there! Did you know that the Icelandic language is actually one of the least changed languages of the Nordic countries and they try their best to keep it that way! That’s pretty awesome.
I just can’t get over how unbelievably, breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL this country is!!!
If I were ever to visit Iceland, I’d definitely want to visit and explore the capital, Reykjavík, see the classical Blue Lagoon and of course, the most magical and breathtaking of them all, the Northern Lights.
This country has sooo much more interesting facts and I wish I can type it all for you guys, but it really is a lot! But, if you want to know more about this amazing country, go to the link to read 25 facts about Iceland.
Iceland reminds me so much of the ancient times and it really is still so “ancient” if I can put it that way. The fact that they preserve their language and traditions, they have a very organic diet and way of life and I respect them for that.
Despite the fact that so many countries around the world have been influenced so much by the new modern age in terms of language, traditions and just the general way of life, Iceland has developed into a country with a high quality lifestyle for entirety of the country, without having to throw away their original/ancestral language, traditions and general lifestyle.
And I just love that.
Don’t you think this looks like the perfect spot to set up a camp?
Thank you for reading,

(As per usual, all of the photographs are not mine, I found them on Google Images and do not know who the original photographers/owners of each photo are – so all credits to them. All I know is that they were super lucky to have been able to visit Iceland (: )
