Iceland
Few places compare to the awe-inspiring majesty of Iceland. With less than half a million residents, it remains the most sparsely populated country in Europe. Located below the Arctic Circle, Iceland boasts a striking contrast between barren land and lush national parks, making the island a hot-spot for adventure-seekers and wildlife enthusiasts.

The Arctic fox and stunning wild Icelandic horses are just some of the species native to the island. Iceland is also home to some of the world’s most unique spectacles of nature, such as the stunning northern fjords and the giant glaciers that blanket the country’s many volcanic mountains.
