Anyone been to Iceland
Great place if you like the cold, July temperature out in the wilderness 1degC !
My wife loved the thermal pools though.

Its hell expensive place.
I've always wanted to go, but never found the time. If there were no restrictions on when that volcano erupted, then I would have gone then.
Know several friends that have gone and there are several 'guides' done on short trips: -

I saw the northern lights one year when I did a winter trip to far north of Finland. It was magical, but really unusual, the sun never rose and it was roughly -40. So cold my batteries failed almost instantly I tried to take a picture. But those memories will stay with me forever.

Feel cold just imagining that sort of temperature.Euler wrote: ↑Fri Dec 31, 2021 10:44 amI've always wanted to go, but never found the time. If there were no restrictions on when that volcano erupted, then I would have gone then.

That's the weekend I went I remember there was some fuzz on whether the plane was allowed to take off for the return flight.
I can recommend a helicopter tour and riding quads in the mountains.

My late father went up that way in the mid 1940's. He wasn't TOO impressed! Mind you, his 'cruise' ship was a Minesweeper and apparently, there was some interference from some of our (late!) European friends...
We've done a similar trip with Exodus to Kiruna, Sweden, absolutely amazing, we looked after our own dog sled in the wilderness for 3 days, built and slept in an igloo, and saw the northern lights on several nights, and drove a skidoo at 40+mph across frozen lakes amazing. I don't think Exodus do the trip anymore, but there are smaller companies do similar trips to Kiruna.Euler wrote: ↑Fri Dec 31, 2021 10:44 amI've always wanted to go, but never found the time.

I'm due to go in March but all depends on Covid. I booked it back in May thinking 10 months would be enough for the world to work out how to defeat or live with Covid. As I'm cat2 high risk (heart attack and diabetes) I'm starting to check my cancelation rights! I'm not thinking of Iceland as the problem more being locked up in a plane with a hundred or more others for 4 hours.
