Iceland was fantastic, the only thing I'd recommend is not going in the winter. Not so much because of the cold (it's not that much colder than New York in winter, at least normally...not this strange winter we've had this year), but because there's only about 5 hours of daylight in the winter. The sun comes up at like 11:00 and goes down at 4:00, so I'd get up and look at my watch and see 10:00 and have no idea if it was morning or night. If I went back (which I'd love to) it would be in the summer, when they have 24 hours of daylight per day.If you go, definitely do a tour of the golden circle, which is a day tour of some of the most impressive geographic features of Iceland, including Geysir, Gullfoss the waterfall, and glaciers.Also really fun was the geothermal natural springs, which I didn't have any pictures of. Since Iceland is basically a volcanic island, there is a lot of geothermal heat, and there are these outdoor hot springs where the water is like 80 degrees while the air is 40 degrees, and you just sit in this steaming water amongst volcanic rocks. It's really relaxing.In Reykjavik, check out the Hallgrimskirkja, a church that is the tallest building in Iceland, you can get a great view of the city from there. There is a lot of interesting architecture too, like Perlan, which is this funky looking building that's actually a water reservoir, though they also turned it into a high class restaurant/mueseum. We were lucky in that my friend I went with had a friend in Iceland who showed us around, and his mother even cooked us an authentic Icelandic meal (a lot of fish, very tasty).Have fun!
