Traveling in Iceland -Юрий Степанченко

Iceland, a Nordic island nation, is defined by its dramatic landscape with volcanoes, geysers, hot springs and lava fields. Massive glaciers are protected in Vatnajökull and Snæfellsjökull national parks. Most of the population lives in the capital, Reykjavik, which runs on geothermal power and is home to the National and Saga museums, tracing Iceland’s Viking history.

You can expect some of Iceland’s most popular attractions to be a bit crowded during the long summer days of high-season.

But if you are indeed visiting in mid-summer, you will be blessed by  whose light lasts for 24 hours.

Taking advantage of the endless days by travelling at night will let you avoid the crowds and experience a personal, magical moment of timelessness in nature’s amber embrace. 

The roads will be silent, the towns and villages asleep, and the stillness of the bright night air will be as enchanting as the wilderness it envelopes.

If you are not used to the bright summer nights of the Arctic, and actually want to sleep during the night, you should remember to pack a sleeping mask.

A sleeping mask is a must under the midnight sun.  It will help your body know when it is time to go to sleep by better managing your circadian rhythm.
