Despite the cold name Iceland is fast becoming one of Europe's hottest destinations and the welcome for visitors is always warm. Much of Iceland's popularity is due to its natural features, which include glaciers, hot springs, geysers, active volcanoes, portentous peaks and vast lava deserts. You can also play golf at midnight because the sun never sets in summer, or fly to the Westmann Islands and visit some of the 10 million puffins that live there! Simply amazing.
