Iceland
Nature at its most raw.
Iceland was the last place on earth to be settled by humans. It is a country of fire and ice with approximately 11% of land covered in glaciers!
Words can hardly describe the immense natural forms, colors, and smells that make up much of the landscape of Iceland. The most sparsely-populated country in Europe, this Nordic island needs to be seen to be believed. From black beaches to glaciers, lava fields to geysers, you can encounter scenery here that you probably didn't think you would ever see in real life. A lot of Iceland truly feels like it came out of a storybook.
It's believed that the pony-sized Icelandic Horse was introduced to this island by Viking Age Scandinavians back in the 9th century.
