Thingvellir, Iceland

Þingvellir Church

This beautiful, historic church looks like something out of a simpler past.

A Strokkur geyser eruption

Iceland

Haukadalur Geothermal Field

This valley of hot springs and boiling mud pots is home to the record-holding "Geysir," which originated the English word.

Gullfoss

Iceland

Gullfoss (Golden Falls)

If a glacial river suddenly diving into a sheer chasm via a dramatic, multi-stage waterfall isn't peak Iceland, it's certainly close.

Puffins on Heimaey.

Heimaey, Iceland

World's Largest Puffin Colony

Every summer local children form "pysja patrols" to save young birds that have wandered from their nests.

Helgafell, the supposedly dormant volcano, seen from the slopes of Eldfell, the volcano created by Helgafell’s eruption.

Heimaey, Iceland

Iceland

Krafla

This tumultuous Icelandic lava field looks so alien European researchers want to use it as a stand-in for Mars.

A mud pot.

Iceland

Námafjall

In Northeastern Iceland lies something of an oxymoron: a steaming desert.

A toxic-smelling steam rises from the mud.

Iceland

Námaskarð

A sulfuric martian landscape that looks far better than it smells.

Grjótagjá
Permanently Closed

Iceland

Grjótagjá

This volcanic cave lake is essentially hard proof that Iceland is the most magical place on Earth.

Gunnuhver

Reykjanes, Iceland

Gunnuhver

Iceland's largest geothermal mud pool is a little bit haunted and a little bit dangerous.

Rainbow lighting for Pride.

Brockville, Ontario
