Place to see: Iceland, Reykjavík, Iceland

About this place:

Known for its rave partying capital of Reykjavik, the country is so much more and still feels undiscovered if you're willing to drive a few hours away from the airport or the capital. Fjords, glaciers, hiking trails, killer whales, puffiins, wildflowers, hot springs and one magnificent view after another, Iceland is worth a visit even in darkest winter, where the visitor can feel as if he is on another planet. The real Iceland is in the steppes with horses grazing under a furious sky, or on the coastlines with the aurora borealis sensual in the skies above, or in the scalding "hot pots" where you can roast while blizzards swirl around you. And more than anything, a photographer's paradise.
