As more and more Indian travellers set their sights on Iceland as a vacation option, we look at the highlights of this undiscovered country
Putting together a plan to visit the world’s northernmost capital, on an island of waterfalls, glaciers and lava fields, was rather challenging. It is hard to do justice to what the region has to offer in terms of vastness, landscapes, and experiences. But I decided to do this with determination, and I zeroed in on a 72-hour itinerary of Iceland’s highlights. I get off the plane with no expectations — all I know is that Iceland is a country of charming towns and spectacular natural landscapes including The Northern Lights. I discovered that it took me very little time to fall in love with Iceland, a region just below the Arctic Circle. Few places in the world conjure up the mystical isolation of the North Pole, where the summer sees no darkness and the winter no light! I even discovered that Iceland is, in fact, about 90 percent ice-free, so it is indeed a curiously named country.
