Why Iceland?
Accessible via a short, five-hour flight from the east coast of the United States, Iceland is a lot closer than you might imagine
Despite its rather misleading name, only 11% of Iceland is covered by ice. That said, it is home to Europe's largest glacier, Vatnajökull, as well as 268 others.
Volcanic eruptions in Iceland happen, on average, every five years. Although international media coverage surrounding the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption might lead one to believe otherwise, volcanic eruptions in Iceland tend to not have much impact on daily life.
Iceland is a big island covering an area more than half the size of New England or about 40 thousand square miles, with less than 400 thousand inhabitants. The roads are mainly along the coastal regions, with the ring road around the island being about 1400 km or 870 miles. Road conditions in Iceland are often different from those you are accustomed to. Highlights include the Golden Circle Area, The Black Beach, The Diamond Beach, Myvatn Lake area, Akureyri, Snaefellsnes and more.
