Day 1
Reykyavik
Reykjavík, the "smoking bay" founded by the Vikings, hot and frozen at the same time. Here the musical and cultural ferment of theaters, galleries and design dissolves in the warm waters of the geothermal pools.
ICELAND, a fantastic island born from the fury of volcanoes. Much of its
popularity is due to its natural beauty: glaciers, hot springs, geysers, active volcanoes, snow-capped peaks and vast lava deserts. Iceland also has a fascinating history, some prolific writers, and a remarkable folk tradition.
