Iceland: 63 percent tundra, 14 percent glaciers, 100 percent gorgeous. Lest you think you’re heading to a backwater, consider, please, that this island nation ranks first in the world for median wealth and second for the strength of its democracy. It boasts the world’s first political party formed and led entirely by women. And renewable sources provide all of Iceland’s electricity.

If you’re flying to Iceland, Reykjavik, the capital, is your first stop. But you simply must get out beyond the city limits.

Highlights include the Golden Circle route, featuring the thundering Gullfoss waterfall, the geothermal Geysir hot springs, and Thingvellir National Park, where tectonic plates meet. The South Coast captivates with black sand beaches, like Reynisfjara, and striking waterfalls such as Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss. Glacier adventures await at Vatnajökull National Park, home to ice caves and the glistening Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Nature lovers can explore the vibrant Blue Lagoon, spot puffins along the cliffs, or chase the ethereal Northern Lights during winter.
