Winter is the most popular time to travel to Iceland, when the nights are long and dark.

There’s no better place to hunt them than over pristine landscapes, blanketed in a layer of snow.
By day, you’ll unearth scenic wonders as you travel around the Land of Fire and Ice. Volcanoes, black sand beaches, spectacular waterfalls and steaming geothermal areas are all part of what makes Iceland such an intriguing place to visit. Explore the cultural and natural attractions of Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site where historical significance abounds, and delve into the enchantment of Vatnajökull National Park, with its ancient glaciers and fascinating glacial lagoons. You’ll even have the chance to spot some of Iceland’s delightful wildlife, including Arctic foxes playing in the snow, reindeer, sea birds, seals and so much more.
