From the Back Cover

MONSTER GLACIERS, WILD BEAUTY, RUGGED FJORDS, thunderous waterfalls: a visit to Iceland instantly connects you with nature and the great outdoors, seen as almost something of a sacred right to the locals. While some head straight for Reykjavík, with its intriguing museums and good old-fashioned rúntur pub crawls, others circumnavigate the Ringroad, seek out puffin colonies, marvel at the Northern Lights, or go whale-watching. Pack your bags - and this Rough Guide - for the trip of a lifetime.
