Iceland is a mountainous island nation in the North Atlantic Ocean, located between Europe and North America. Though it is not part of the continental mainland, the country is considered as European. Only 10% of Iceland, Land of the Midnight Sun, is covered by glaciers. This land of breathtaking landscapes, boiling mud pools, geysers, glaciers and waterfalls is perfect for the adventurous. Iceland is the least densely populated country in Europe. Summers are warm, with days lengthening until midsummer. During winter, the colorful lights of the Aurora Borealis in the night sky are amazing(if you're lucky!).
Best time to visit: The best time to visit Iceland is from late May to early September. May through June, is the perfect time to experience the natural phenomenon known as the 'Midnight Sun'. Winter begins from November till April. February is the coldest month. The Aurora Borealis is visible from October to March in various areas. Between October and January, daylight hours dwindle to 3 or 4 hours a day.
Important parts of Icelandic cuisine are lamb, dairy, and fish, due to Iceland's proximity to the ocean. Popular foods include:
The traditional Icelandic lopapeysa, a knitted wool sweater, scarves, gloves, hats and blankets. Beautifully crafted pottery and glass. Outdoor wear, haute couture. Jewellery in Celtic and Norse patterns.
