Northern Iceland
Few destinations seems to be attracting as much word-of-mouth love as
Iceland right now. With a window of affordability, popular Icelandic
bands, mystery writers, and a seeming worldwide need for a long soak in a
hot spring, Iceland seems to be on every traveller’s mind this year.
Nearly all of the focus has been on Reykjavik and the Golden Circle, but
don’t ignore Iceland’s second city Akureyri and the wild charms of
Northern Iceland, all easily accessed by a short connecting flight from
Reykjavik. You’ll leave most other travellers behind and there’s no
shortage of dramatic geysers, lava fields and towering waterfalls to
keep you company. For those in search of a soak, Myvatn Nature Baths
(www.jardbodin.is) is a smaller and less touristy version of the famed
Blue Lagoon. 2013 marks the end of the 11 year maximum in aurora
borealis activity, with a better light show in Northern Iceland than
you’ll find in even more northern parts of Scandinavia.
