10 Places of Iceland That Will Take Your Breath Away

The name Svartifoss means “Black Fall” and is the bedrock of Vatnajökull National Park. Stunning, unique and amazing. Be ready for your oxygen fix as the air there is so pure, it makes your head go spinning. Happily spinning.

2. Vatnajökull National Park

It is located 3.5 hours from Reykjavík (the capital of Iceland) but this adventure is well worth to treat yourself with. The whole place is absolutely not to be missed. Prepare yourself for astonishingly beautiful surroundings. When you get there, you will meet mind-boggling 1,500-year-old beautiful icebergs peacefully floating in the lagoon.

Imagine this beauty being grasped by the enormous peace of Europe’s largest glacier.

This is one and only Iceland’s flea market in the heart of Reykjavik where you can buy all sorts of things like books, antiques, unusual clothes and amazing souvenirs you wouldn’t normally buy (but you will). A great place to get your shopping bug fixed.
