AN IMPORTANT NOTE
The world is a dynamic place. Hotels change ownership, restaurants hike their prices, museums alter their opening hours, and buses and trains change their routings. And all of this can occur in the several months after our authors have visited, inspected, and written about these hotels, restaurants, museums, and transportation services. Though we have made valiant efforts to keep all our information fresh and up-to-date, some few changes can inevitably occur in the periods before a revised edition of this guidebook is published. So please bear with us if a tiny number of the details in this book have changed. Please also note that we have no responsibility or liability for any inaccuracy or errors or omissions, or for inconvenience, loss, damage, or expenses suffered by anyone as a result of assertions in this guide.

A Look at Iceland
O ne of the last bastions of raw beauty on Earth, Iceland is a surreal place to be. In a land that seems magnificently stark and unyielding, everything is mutable, from the sultry geothermal pools bubbling up from the earths interior to the mystical, shape-shifting skies. Its a singular ecosytem of mossy tundra, jagged mountains, glacial valleys, and icy sea, where storybook animals like puffins, reindeer, and whales leap out of the monochromatic tableau. Iceland was a Viking settlement, and its Nordic bonafides are evident in its architecture, food, and bloodlines. For adventurers, Iceland has glaciers to hike, sea cliffs to mount, and ancient lava tubes to explore. Natural geothermal pools are the social hot spots, literallythat the steamy soaks often are surrounded by stunning icy landscapes only adds to the wonder of being there. In Iceland you can clamber over volcanic gorges, sail among icebergs, and feel the hot whisper of the fires down below in a geothermal spring. Afterward, head indoors to a cozy fire, sip Icelandic craft beers, and imagine yourself a hero in an ancient Icelandic saga, home at last.
