<p style="text-align: justify;">The land of fire and ice, Iceland is one place you must visit in your lifetime. From majestic waterfalls and black-sand beaches to glacier lagoons and volcanoes, Iceland has it all. This Arctic island exudes different charms from season to season but the landscapes remain picturesque.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although photos simply don’t do justice to the beauty of the raw wilderness and natural wonders in Iceland, here are 7 things to do in Iceland that will hopefully inspire you to make a trip there.<span id="more-186381"></span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-186388" alt="Iceland Northern Lights" src="https://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Iceland_Northern-Lights.jpg" width="710" height="475" /></p>

<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">CATCH THE NORTHERN LIGHTS</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">Definitely on everyone’s bucket list is to see the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis at least once in their lives. Being located near the Arctic Circle, Iceland is one of the best places to catch this phenomenon. The best time to see the lights in their full glory is from September to April when the nights are long.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And trust us when we say that this is possibly the most beautiful thing that Mother Nature has created because nothing can compare to the feeling when you witness the lights dance above you, not even the cold!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-186382" alt="Iceland Waterfall" src="https://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Teri_Iceland_Waterfall.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">CHASE WATERFALLS</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">Icelandic waterfalls are of a different league, and it’s honestly tough to beat the grandeur and beauty of these natural wonders. There are thousands of waterfalls in Iceland and we can’t get enough of them. Despite the sheer number of waterfalls, each and every one is unique!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There’s Glymur which was considered the highest waterfall until recently which requires a hike to or Dettifoss which is the most powerful waterfall in Europe. There is also Seljalandsfoss where you can go behind the cascading water or Svartifoss which means ‘black waterfall’ because of the black basalt columns.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you’re lucky, you might even catch a rainbow at one of the waterfalls!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-186384" alt="Teri_Iceland_Hallgrimskirkja" src="https://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Teri_Iceland_Hallgrimskirkja.jpg" width="710" height="710" /></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">EXPLORE REYKJAVÍK</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">There’s just so much to see in Iceland and many may overlook its capital Reykjavík, which is the northernmost capital in the world. The vibrant city has a flourishing art scene and is dotted with museums and coffee shops.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Towering over the whole city is the majestic Hallgrímskirkja, the largest church in Iceland which offers a panoramic view of Iceland if you go to the top. Don’t miss out on the Sun Voyager sculpture and Harpa concert hall when you’re in Reykjavík too!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116770" alt="Iceland Geothermal Pools" src="https://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Iceland-Geothermal-Pools.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>

<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">SOAK IN GEOTHERMAL SPAS</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you’re in Iceland, you must not miss out on their hot spring culture. A popular choice amongst tourists is the totally Instagrammable Blue Lagoon Spa. But if you’re not for exorbitant prices and jostling with the crowd, give this one a miss. Having a geothermal underbelly means that Iceland has many other alternatives for you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can find one almost anywhere; you can even find a hot tub in the middle of nowhere with a great view of snow-capped mountains. So just sit back and relish the soak in the warm waters amidst the clouds of steam and perhaps, an ice-cold beer if you fancy.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-186385" alt="Iceland Black Sand Beach" src="https://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Teri_Iceland_Black-Sand-Beach.jpg" width="710" height="399" /></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">SINK YOUR FEET IN THE BLACK SAND BEACHES</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">Iceland is home to mesmerizing black sand beaches that are found along the southern coast. The jet black sand gets its unique colour from volcanic ash as there are over 100 volcanoes in Iceland. Each black sand beach has its own distinct features.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The most visited and well-known Reynisfjara has basalt columns that are incredibly beautiful against the vast Atlantic Ocean while Solheimasandur has a plane wreck and stunning glaciers lie along the black sand on Diamond Beach.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-186389" alt="Iceland Glacier Hike" src="https://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Iceland_Glacier-Hike.jpeg" width="710" height="897" /></p>

<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">TRY GLACIER HIKING</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">What do you do when hiking mountains becomes too mainstream? Go glacier hiking of course. Glaciers make up about 11% of Iceland and two of the largest glaciers in Europe are found here! Glacier hiking is an increasingly popular activity to do and we can totally see why.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Traversing across the ice-cool surface against a beautiful backdrop of more blue and white or even exploring inside ice caves – definitely a game-changer. If that’s too adventurous then you opt for Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon where you can see chunks of ice floating in the water.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-186386" alt="Iceland GoT" src="https://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Teri_Iceland_GoT.jpg" width="710" height="473" /></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">VISIT GAME OF THRONES FILMING SITES</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">With the immensely popular series finally finishing its run after 10 years, there’s no better time than now to hop on the plane to visit the filming locations! Fans of Game of Thrones will know that filming took place in many countries such as Croatia, Spain, Morocco, Ireland and of course, Iceland.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">See the world of Game of Thrones appear right in front of your eyes—from Skogafoss and Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon where the dragons fly over to Kirkjufell which appeared in The Hound’s vision—filming locations are aplenty in Iceland! Even if you’re not a fan of the series, most of these places are still worth going too because every inch of Iceland is just too magical.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The aurora is a jaw-dropping natural light phenomenon that has been fascinating human civilisations since medieval times. These stunning displays are not related to the supernatural, but are simply a result of the collision between earth&#8217;s gas atoms and charged particles from the sun&#8217;s atmosphere.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Auroras take place in high-latitude regions and one can witness these spectacular formations at either of the magnetic poles during specific periods each year.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the Northern Hemisphere, the auroras are known as &#8216;Aurora Borealis&#8217;, while auroras in Southern Hemisphere are called &#8216;Aurora Australis&#8217;. There are many aurora variations and they could exist in blue, green, pink, red and/or ultraviolet colours. Similarly, the shapes of the Northern and Southern lights could vary from curtain-like arcs to diffused flickering patches.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In this installation, we share more about Aurora Forecast for 2016 and the 5 Best Places to Catch Them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-68251"></span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#1 FINLAND</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Aurora Period: November to April</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although Finland&#8217;s aurora season might stretch across for almost half a year, there are only an estimated 20 nights out of this period where all stars are aligned for you to catch the aurora. Simply because not all nights are cloudless; it is ultimately all about being timely and lucky. Your chances are increased between 7pm to 2am.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Levi and Saariselkä in Finland are popular ski resorts in Finland for aurora viewing.</p>

<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#2 ICELAND</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Aurora Period: September to mid April</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Icelanders are terribly spoilt when it comes to witnessing the breathtaking auroras. They can catch the Northern Lights almost all year round and even within capital of Iceland&#8217;s proximity!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

// ]]&gt;</script></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Drive 15 minutes away from Reykjavik city and towards Bessastadir area to catch the dancing lights from afar. Or if you would like a closer view, then take a five-hour one-way car journey to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon for an unrivalled experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-68342" alt="norway northern lights" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/norway-northern-lights.jpg" width="710" height="320" /><a href="http://www.visitnorway.com/us/what-to-do/attractions-culture/nature-attractions/let-there-be-northern-lights/what-to-do-under-the-northern-lights/"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Source: Frank Andreassen</span></a></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#3 NORWAY</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Aurora Period: Late September to mid March</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Located right above the Arctic Circle, Norway is truly befitting of its title &#8220;Kingdom of Light&#8221;. Head to Northern Norway or the Svalbard Islands for a spellbindingly beautiful light show.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Based on scientific studies, Northern Norway is definitely the best place on earth to view the Northern Lights. This is due to the fact that the aurora belt hits Northern Norway&#8217;s Lofoten Islands and the lights continue its trajectory towards North Cape.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-68341" alt="scotland-aurora-borealis" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/scotland-aurora-borealis.jpg" width="710" height="355" /><a href="http://www.visitscotland.com/about/nature-geography/northern-lights"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Source: Fay Vincent, Dundee &amp; Angus</span></a></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#4 SCOTLAND</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Aurora Period: January</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We bet you did not know that the breathtaking auroras can too be admired from United Kingdom! As mentioned previously, extremely clear and dark skies are key conditions to spot auroras with your naked eyes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Scottish islands of The Outer Hebrides and Scotland&#8217;s archipelago Shetland are prime aurora viewing spots due to their minimal light pollution and low population.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js" async=""></script><!-- 336 X 280 Within Content --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display: inline-block; width: 336px; height: 280px;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1199323522078805" data-ad-slot="9464314347"></ins><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-68336" alt="Sweden Aurora" src="http://www.ladyironchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Sweden-Aurora.jpg" width="710" height="473" /><a href="http://imagebank.sweden.se/northern+lights/northern+sweden/swedish+lapland/1304" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Source: Fredik Broman</span></a></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#5 SWEDEN</span></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Aurora Period: Late September to end March</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sweden has several spots during wintertime that are excellent for viewing the Northern Lights, namely Abisko National Park&#8217;s Torneträsk Lake and Jukkasjärvi Village. Both locations are extremely remote &#8211; after all, you can only spot the auroras during winter when the sky is clear and dark.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The village of Jukkasjärvi is home to one of the world&#8217;s first ice hotel where staff can arrange guided tours to catch the aurora borealis.</p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">Disclaimer: The above dates are an approximation based on the past few years’ aurora periods and intended to serve as a rough guide to aid those who wish to plan for their trips next year. Nature is essentially unpredictable and it is very hard to pinpoint down to the exact dates even with data.</p>
