visitors to windswept Gullfoss Waterfall and Strokkur geyser, a thrilling hot
spring that regularly spurts water 75 feet into the air. In Isafjördur, known for
whale watching, drop by a ﬁshing village to sample dried haddock.

Circumnavigate the island on Hurtigruten's 318-passenger MS Fram. The
11-day Land of Fire and Ice expedition starts and ends in Reykjavík, and
includes stops at Húsavík, Iceland's oldest settlement, with its interesting whale
museum, and tiny Vigur Island, which boasts the country's only windmill. Taste
shark during a call at Eskifjördur, step across the Arctic Circle at Grimsey Island,
snap photos of colorful wooden houses in Seydisfjördur. Hurtigruten specializes
in active cruises that give guests authentic outdoor experiences. Ride its small
"PolarCirkel" boats to get close to bird-dotted cliffs. And, weather permitting, kayak or hike rugged, isolated landscapes.

Wendy Hommelsheim,
AAA Travel Specialist in
Wake Forest, N.C., just
returned from a nine-day
Member Choice Vacation®
to Iceland.
"We went caving inside a
lava tube and cod ﬁshing in
Grundarfjördur," she says.
"Iceland has some of the
freshest ﬁsh I've ever eaten."
The capital city of Reykjavík
is walkable and safe, she
says, with many dining
options and lively nightspots.
And English is widely spoken.
But what makes Iceland
special, according to
Hommelsheim, is "its
otherworldly scenery and
awesome beauty."
"Geysers, geothermal pools,
glaciers, fjords, volcanic
activity-austere, beautiful
landscapes that stretch as far
as the eye can see."
