Just south of the
Arctic Circle, southeast of Greenland, west of Norway, and northwest of
Scotland you'll find the captivating island of Iceland. It is sparsely
populated, covered in glaciers which are permanent snow and ice fields and
it has areas that have an active volcanic surface. Because hot lava is
near the surface many geysers or hot springs are formed. The steam and hot
water is used to heat the homes and buildings of Reykjavik. The
captivating ice caps and rugged terrain is certainly a lifetime experience
and highly recommended.
