Iceland

A rock lost in the Atlantic Ocean a few kilometers from the Arctic Ocean, Iceland is a state perched at the edge of Europe. The country is located between Greenland and Norway, geographically closer to the American continent but historically and culturally linked to Europe.

It must be said that the country has everything to please: the nightlife of Reykjavik, fjords and icebergs, waterfalls, hot springs, whale watching, mosaics of colors making the landscapes so surreal that you would think they are "an incredibly vast nature where you can hike as if you were alone in the world," the northern lights, and active volcanoes.
