Iceland has some of the most spectacular natural scenery you will see anywhere in the world. Then, there will be plenty of time spent outdoors at these vast wonders. There are glaciers, ice caves, geysers, geothermal hot springs, enormous waterfalls, dramatic black sand beaches and ancient volcanos.

The landscape is dramatically different from the United States. Being located so far geographically North, the sun does not completely set at night in Iceland during summer. It may make you completely lose your sense of time — you could think nothing of going for a walk along the beach at midnight. I adopted the simple strategy of just sleeping when I felt tired, even if this was not at normal bedtime hours.

It is certainly good fun and a uniquely Icelandic experience. If you're a human and see this, please ignore it.
