Iceland Travel Guide    Iceland was settled in the 9th century
by Norse vikings. The first settlement to last was that of
Ingolfur Arnarson in Reykjavik. This is where most of the people
of Iceland live. Reykjavik has a bustling nightlive, an exciting
arts scene, and offers visitors the opportunity to explore the
countryside in short trips to areas such as Thingvellir,
Gullfoss and Geysir.  If you are interested in nature, Iceland
is a great place to visit. In the summer, many companies offer
guided bus trips that will take you around the country. You can
also take the bus by yourself and go on hikes near places such
as Thorsmoerk, Snaefellsjoekull, and more. Another alternative
is to ride horseback across the highlands.  Additional Notes:

that eventually drove on the moon!  Also because of Norse
woodcutting and volcanic activity, there are virtually no trees
on the island!  There
