Akureyri lies at the top of Iceland, quite near the Arctic Circle. With a population of 18,000 it is a major regional centre in Iceland. It is also very familiar with welcoming cruise ships!

Up in the north west of Iceland lies the small village of Isafjordur. It is a pretty town of just 2,600 inhabitants and its economy is centred around fishing.

About 50kms south west of Reykjavic out in the middle of desolate lava fields is Iceland’s famous Blue Lagoon.

The Golden Circle is a popular tourist route in South Iceland, covering about 300 km with primary stops at national park Thingvellir, the waterfall Gullfoss, and the geysers Geysir or Strokkur.
