For many of us, Iceland doesn’t strike as a vacation destination. But clearly there’s so much to see :)
Amazing photos – especially the way you captured the falling water. It looks very inviting!

Photos make a destination worthwhile eh? Although, it was not taken by me.
I had no idea Iceland has no trees — that’s so interesting. I’m sure that doesn’t detract from its beauty. It’d definitely be the kind of place I’d want to visit.

Nature’s wonders are amazing, isn’t it? But it’s a country full of natural beauty. Northern lights alone is enough for me to visit Iceland.
Many years ago, a friend of mine visited Iceland — at the time, you never heard of tourists going there. I’ve been fascinated by Iceland ever since she talked about her trip, but for some reason haven’t made it there yet. Would love to see all that natural beauty.

Northern Lights itself is a nature’s wonder and I’m sure seeing it in a beautiful country like Iceland would make it look even better.
