Iceland is situated in the North Atlantic ocean - a world beyond magic.

The first thing the Vikings saw centuries ago, when they arrived in South Iceland was the glacier Vatnajökull. Therefore they named the land, Iceland. Nevertheless, there is much more to learn about this fascinating country.

Iceland is a land of natural wonders:

Active volcanoes, vast lava fields, fertile valleys, hot springs, bubbling mud pools, mountains, waterfalls and of course glaciers.

Iceland is also the land of sagas and its history is long and captivating. Even today the Icelandic population is still very much influenced by the ancient viking culture. The language has hardly changed and parents continue to pass on the farthers name to their children to be used as surname.
