Iceland

Iceland is one of Europe's best kept secrets..

and yet probably has more to offer in an area the size of Ireland than most of the rest of Europe put together. The capital, Reykjavik, is the world's most northerly capital and is renowned for it's pulsating nightlife. Take a car just a few tens of miles outside the city, however, and the true variety that Iceland displays is clear to see.

From the Blue Lagoon and nearby Krisuvik, to the numerous dramatic waterfalls, from the vast inhospitable glaciers to the wide open spaces of Thingvellir, you can head out in any direction and find something to take your
breath away.

I have visited Iceland twice, once in April 1999, and again in June 2002, when these pictures were taken. This is just a small selection of what I came back home with, and hopefully illustrates the enormous range of sights to see.

There are more pictures from my journey on my website at www.nickminers.co.uk.
