Welcome to Iceland，a land that comes across as being a unique and beautiful destination．It is open to visitors who like to study an unknown course，and everything about Iceland waits to be explored．Here are just a lot of places you can take on…
Dettifoss
Dettifoss waterfalls，located 90km from the town Húsavík，is the most powerful waterfall in Europe．You can access the waterfall either by hiking or driving down along the road leading to the falls．The access roads，however，remain closed during the winter months．That is from January to April．
Landmannalaugar
Landmannalaugar or the people's pools，is a major tourist attraction in Iceland．Known as the heart for hikers，the area is popular for hot springs．Open only during summers，it is accessible from Thorsmork Biking in this area．However，it is relatively difficult，and is recommended only for trained mountain bikers．
Reykjavik
Reykjavik，which actually means"Steamy Bay"，got its name from the sight of steam rising from the geothermal hot springs，which attracted the Vikings when they landed at the bay．You can relax by hiking，or go fishing in the Elliea River．Don't forget to go skinny-dipping in the famous Blue Lagoon，a geothermal（地热的） pool in the area．
Gotafoss
Gotafoss，also known as the waterfall of the gods，is one of the most impressive attractions in Iceland．Located on the Skjalfandafljot river flowing south of road 1or the Ring road，it is easily accessible，thus attracting tourists and divers alike．As the story goes，it was these falls that the Lawspeaker Thorgeir Ljosvetningagoti threw the statues of his Norse gods into，hence giving it the name Gotafoss．
Jökulsárlón
Known to be a museum of ice sculptures，Jökulsárlón is a large glacier lake on the South Eastern border．The lake which is around 200meters deep is home to some of the big icebergs．During the summer months，you can use boat rides that will take you face to face with the ice sculptures that melt away splendidly．In the winters，you will spot a number of seals and the great Skua at the lake．
