Top 10 things to do in Iceland:
I’ve never actually been to Iceland in real life, but I have been there
many times in my imagination and through research—I think I’ve even been there
once or twice in my dreams. If I could
actually go there, however, these are the places I would visit.
1)
The Blue
Lagoon. This is Iceland’s most famous
geothermal pool, and you can bathe in it.
It’s huge and is fed by mineral rich seawater that is heated by a nearby
geothermal plant. http://www.bluelagoon.com/Geothermal-spa/
2)
Camp out
in the middle of Iceland’s unpopulated tundra, away from all city lights just
to watch the Northern Lights dance across the sky. http://www.iww.is/art/shs/pages/thumbs.html
3)
Visit
Gullfoss, Iceland’s most famous waterfall.
Take a picnic and hope for a rainbow to show up in the midst of the
falls—better yet, get lucky and see a double rainbow, and then ponder about
what it could possibly mean. J http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gullfoss
4)
Hike Mount
Hekla and know once and for all what the “Gateway to Hell” really looks like. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hekla
5)
While in
Southern Iceland, so close to Hella, visit Aegissida farm along the Ytri-Ranga
river and check out the 12 Caves of Aegissida—yes they really do exist. These caves look like little houses squished
up against a hill side, and were believed to be made by Irish monks before the
Vikings even settled Iceland. There are
even Celtic markings on the walls of the caves. http://www.nat.is/travelguideeng/plofin_hellar.htm
6)
While in
Hella, stick around for the Icelandic horse races. Just southeast of town is a race course where
Icelandic horses (mini-versions of our horses) race. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_horse
7)
If the
thrill seeking type—which I am not—visit Iceland during a volcanic
eruption. That could be pretty cool, and
possibly life altering—literally. J http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/04/photogalleries/100419-iceland-volcano-lightning-ash-pictures/#/iceland-volcano-lightning-1_19113_600x450.jpg
8)
Visit the
Black Volcanic beach in the town of Vik, located on the southern coast of
Iceland. The black sand on the beaches
is made from volcanic eruptions over the years, and the mountains close by the
shore look incredible! http://www.flickr.com/photos/karnevil/513542117/
9)
Of course,
one should definitely visit Iceland’s capital, Reykjavic. I hear it’s one of the coolest cities in the
Northern Hemisphere with great music, happy natives, and some amazing Viking
museums. http://www.visitreykjavik.is/desktopdefault.aspx
10) Finally, I would check out some of
Iceland’s cool elf rocks and their elf/troll museum in. I read an article once that Icelanders still
believe that elves and possibly trolls exist, and that they live in the
peculiar rock formations that have been created over years of volcanic
eruptions and extremely harsh weather conditions. Apparently, if superstitious Icelanders come
across one of these rock formations while building a road, they won’t blast
through the boulder, or even move it; they’ll build their roads around them. I find that fascinating in
today’s world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHvOeiGHgfw
