Destination Profile
When Leif Eriksson discovered North America at the turn of the 10th century AD, his long journey to the shores of modern Canada began in the fabled Viking territory of Iceland. These days, you can retrace his 3,500-mile trip, only without the longboats and storms. That's because oodles of airlines run the route across to Reykjavik, the capital, with cheap flights to Iceland from USA coming from an eclectic bunch of destinations that includes Boston, JFK, Minneapolis, and the Windy City. Once you touch down, get ready for days of steamy volcanic springs, roaring waterfalls, ancient Nordic history sights, and creaking glaciers that rise above roaring seas. It's stirring stuff!
Soothe away your jet lag in the steamy Blue Lagoon – a whole spa built over Iceland's hot volcanic springs.
The mist-spurting Gulfoss waterfall crashes 32 meters into a cavern between the meadows of southwest Iceland.
Thingvellir is enough to stir the soul, offering visions of an ancient Icelandic parliament and the crystal-clear rift lake of Silfra.
