This is Why Everyone Wants to go to Iceland

Iceland is booming. More than 2 million tourists visit Iceland every year. This comes as no surprise. As I am regularly guiding tours in Iceland I have visited the country quite some times over the years and the beauty of the country is simply out of this world.
