Iceland:
stark, pristine scenery has been shaped by fire and ice: volcanoes and numerous glaciers form the country`s landscape. It`s a frozen land that`s always letting off steam. Its U-shaped valleys, jagged lava fields, monstrous icecaps, hot springs and geysers have carved a rugged, bizarre landscape you won`t see anywhere else on Earth. You can experience many of its extremes in relative comfort. Even with its relative remoteness and harsh terrain, Iceland has one of the highest standards of living in the world. Icelanders, like many islanders, are self-confident and reserved, but once you break the ice, so to speak, they are among the friendliest in the world. Iceland, the second largest island in Europe, lies close to the Arctic Circle. It is about midway between New York and Moscow.  Geologically Iceland is a very young country, and the process of its formation is still going on. Iceland's interior consists entirely of mountains and high plateaus, devoid of human habitation. Its average height is 500 m above sea level, the highest point being Hvannadalshnúkur in the Öræfajökull glacier in Southeast Iceland, reaching a height of 2.119 m (6,950 feet). This is truly a destination that awaits you to discover it, with plenty of action. Be awe struck with extraordinary views of surging geysers, thundering waterfalls and moonlike volcanic craters. Play golf at midnight because the sun never sets in summer. Fly to the Westmann Islands and visit some of the 10 million puffins that live there. You might be in luck see Keiko, the world`s most famous killer whale. Iceland is for the young and the young at heart. Truly a place like no other. Every part of the year has its own special attractions, character and charm. And don´t let the name deceive you, Iceland can be very warm in summer when the sun shines virtually round the clock
