If you want to escape the city and see a bit more of Iceland, this trip is ideal. It introduces you to the country’s south coast, where thundering waterfalls, snow-topped volcanoes and a stark coastline lie ready and waiting. You’ll make a couple of stops at the area’s biggest waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss, where you’ll have enough time to take some photos. Also on the agenda is Eyjafjallajökull. The volcano that caused such chaos back in 2010 is a picture of serenity these days, sleeping soundly beneath a huge sheet of ice and snow. The real highlight of the day, though, is Vik. This huge beach is covered in black pebbles, and boasts weird and wonderful basalt rock formations.
