Dazzling white glaciers, snow-capped mountains, rugged lava fields, deserts of black sands, towering moss-covered cliffs, tumbling waterfalls and valleys carpeted in green. Slumbering volcanoes, hissing fumaroles, bubbling mud pots and hot thermal springs, Iceland - a dynamic landscape! A temperamental beauty! A fickle and fiery nature! A Utopia of Fire and ice!
