SMART Reiseführer Island

Waterfalls, volcanoes, and glaciers: Experience perfect days in Iceland with the Baedeker SMART travel guide. It is the land of fire and ice: As home to the largest glacier in Europe and some of the most active volcanoes in the world, Iceland offers breathtaking natural spectacles. We take you to the capital, Reykjavik, whisk you away to other worlds while watching Iceland's Northern Lights, and show you the exposed tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia in Thingvellir National Park. Join us in the wild Westfjords, along the coast to the Jökulsarlon glacier lagoon, to impressive waterfalls like Gullfoss or Skogafoss, and to Akureyri, the capital of North Iceland. And for those who want to see whales up close, a trip to Húsavík for one of the daily whale safaris is a must.
