A new hotspot in the North Atlantic, Iceland is one of the world's most unusual countries. Europe's second largest island, Iceland is its most sparsely populated country. It lies just south of the Arctic Circle but, warned by Gulf Stream waters, has a temperate climate, with verdant valleys, hot springs, and cool glaciers. Explore one of the most breathtaking islands int he world in Iceland: The Land of Fire and Ice. Reykjavik, the island's capital, is a unique cultural hub nestled in the far north of the Atlantic Ocean. With just 130,000 residents, the city is home to the haunting Hallgrimskirkja Lutheran church and the distinctive glass-structured Harpa Concert Hall. To the south of the capital, the Reykjanes Peninsula is contoured by volcanoes, mountains, river-ripped valleys, streaming thermal lakes and rivers - including the famous Blue Lagoon - and a jagged and moody coastline. Iceland: The Land of Fire and Ice presents more than 200 outstanding photographs of the island's most evocative and beautiful places, from the spectacular, elemental beauty of the Goðafoss, Aldeyjarfoss and Hraunfossar waterfalls, to the hot springs of Hveravellir and the Holuhraun lava field in the central highlands.
