Iceland
Hitting headlines, topping bucket lists, wooing nature lovers and dazzling an increasing number of visitors there seems no end to the talents of this breathtaking northern destination.
An underpopulated island marooned near the top of the globe, Iceland is, literally, a country in the making. Its a vast volcanic laboratory where mighty forces shape the earth: geysers gush, mudpots gloop, ice-covered volcanoes rumble and glaciers cut great pathways through the mountains. Its supercharged splendour seems designed to remind visitors of their utter insignificance in the greater scheme of things. And it works a treat: some crisp clean air, an eyeful of the cinematic landscapes, and everyone is transfixed.
Its the power of Icelandic nature to turn the prosaic into the extraordinary. A dip in a pool becomes a soak in a geothermal lagoon; a casual stroll can transform into a trek across a glittering glacier; and a quiet night of camping may mean front-row seats to the aurora borealis curtains of light, or the soft, pinkish hue of the midnight sun. Iceland has a transformative effect on people too its sagas turned brutes into poets, and its stories of hulduflk (hidden people) may make believers out of sceptics. Here youll find some of the worlds highest concentrations of dreamers, authors, artists and musicians, all fuelled by their surrounds.
The warmth of Icelanders is disarming, as is their industriousness theyve worked hard to recover from financial upheaval, and to transform Iceland into a destination that, thanks to its popularity with visitors, can host more than six times its population each year. Pause and consider a medium-sized city in your country then give it far-flung universities, airports and hospitals to administer, 30-odd active volcanoes to monitor, and hundreds of hotels to run. How might they cope? Could they manage as well as the Icelanders and still have time left over to create spine-tingling music and natty knitwear?
