All rooms have a private bathroom with a shower and a veranda overlooking moss covered lava fields and an untouched natural landscape. It is no surprise that the readers of “Conde Nast Traveller” voted Blue Lagoon as the best medical spa worldwide.

Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is normally visible on sunny days. According to legend, the first Viking settler in the area, Þrasi Þórólfsson, buried a treasure in a cave behind the waterfall. The legend continues that locals found the chest years later, but were only able to grasp the ring on the side of the chest before it disappeared again.

We found an amazing view near Vik where the sun was rising between two mountains from behind a glacier and headed down this dirt road to get the perfect location.

The breed has remained pure for over a thousand years and thus today there is only one breed of horse in Iceland – The Icelandic Horse.

On a sunlit day, the mist clouds surrounding the hammering falls are filled with dozens of rainbows, providing an unparalleled spectacle of color and motion.

While there are many waterfalls in Iceland that are this tall, I think its claim to fame is that you can go behind it.
