Top 10 Things to Do in Iceland
Iceland is one of the most beautiful places to visit. While the population of Iceland is only 323,000, it is consistently on the top places to travel and on the bucket list for many travellers. Iceland is full of amazing waterfalls, glaciers, geysers, and hot springs due to its geothermal power and volcanic activity. Iceland is known for it’s capital city Reykjavik, which makes up for 65% of the population in Iceland. PS: Did you know Game of Thrones was filmed in Iceland?
