When American astronauts were preparing for a lunar landing, they trained in Iceland—the closest landscape to the moon’s on earth. While the terrain is otherworldly, the result is gorgeous, not desolate. A volcanic island, Iceland burps and bubbles with striking results: geysers, hot springs, black sand beaches, and lava, lava everywhere. And Iceland’s people— friendly, sophisticated, and quirky— will make your stay in Land of Fire and Ice perfectly warm.
