- Chase the northern lights – Head away from city lights on a clear winter night to watch green ribbons dance across the sky.
- Soak in a geothermal pool – Join locals in a neighbourhood hot pot or a natural hot spring for the true Icelandic social ritual.
- Hike on a glacier – Strap on crampons with a certified guide to explore blue ice and crevasses on an outlet glacier.
