The isle of natural wonders

My first reaction when my daughter suggested Iceland for a holiday was disbelief, as we had previously visited places like Malta and Madeira.
However, I found myself on the plane to Reykjavik and as it landed, passengers peered curiously through the windows for a glimpse of what awaited them.
It was different from anywhere I have seen, with brown lava rock everywhere and sparse greenery, mainly around the coast.
Our courier told us that a few trees in a clump were considered to be a wood. Some tourists said that they were missing their gardens already.
On the coach from the airport to the hotel it looked like an end-of-the-world scene until we came to Reykjavik. As much of Iceland is uninhabitable, almost half the population lives here. It has the distinction of being the most northerly capital in the world.
The air was cleaner and there was no over-crowding, no queueing, no litter and hardly any graffiti.
We ha... more


Chill out in Iceland's hotspots and hotpots


From the Daily Mail

'And if you are lucky, the waiters pour soup on you and throw you in the lake.' My guide Gunnar, a retired paediatrician, was telling me about a lunchtime play that has been packing Reykjavik's Idno Theatre with eager soup drinkers.
'Perhaps it's our tempestuous climate, but we Icelanders do nothing by halves.' At first sight, Reykjavik looks short on period charm, with few old buildings and most of the city built of earthquake-proof concrete.
Heritage often involves corrugated iron, once a luxury import, which covers the wooden frames of many 19th-century houses. In today's newly wealthy Iceland, these represent the last word in nostalgia chic and are being lovingly restored and reproduced.
Gunnar's fierce pride in his city soon had me converted. The city may lack ancient monuments, he says, but its medieval blockbusters, the sagas, live on in hearts and minds, revere... more


Whales ahoy


When it comes to watching whales, luck has never been on my side. My travels have taken me to many places where there should have been whales but somehow they always managed to evade me.
In New England, Newfoundland, South Africa and California I was too late, or too early, or the weather was too bad.
So those words 'Thar she blows' remained unspoken on my lips - which is rather sad for a patron of the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society.
But now my luck has changed and I can hold my head high in front of fellow WDCS supporters - and friends - like Michaela Strachan, my co-presenter on BBC One's Countryfile, and Mark Carwardine, the Radio 4 wildlife expert and contributor to The Mail on Sunday travel pages.
They have seen all kinds of whales umpteen times, as they have often told me.
Undeterred by all my previous failures, I booked a short holiday to northern Iceland because it included two whale-watching trips, and this ti... more


Iceland – a real diamond geyser

Until a decade ago, the idea of going on holiday to Iceland would have been as outlandish to most Brits as taking a break on one of the rings of Saturn .
Through word of mouth about the country's startling beauty and thriving nightlife, it's rapidly become one of the most fashionable places to go for a long weekend, notably for young people.
A country of just 290,000 people, it's easy to envy the few who live there.
Even before landing at Keflavik airport Iceland's unique beauty reveals itself.
The volcanic landscape is startlingly lunar, and almost anywhere in Iceland has sumptuous views of its mountains.
For a capital city with such a bustling nightlife, Reykjavik itself is also unspoilt away from the main town centre. It also has a pleasant beach. The temperatures are broadly similar to the UK, about two degrees colder.
Reykjavik is most suitable for a weekend break for young people, with the compac... more


Meet the cool geysers


The explorer Eirik the Red, whose son Leifur probably discovered America before Columbus, was something of an early spin doctor.
Outlawed from Iceland for a murder too many, he set sail in AD980 and found an icy land to the North West.
Anxious to entice other settlers, he decided to give it a good name and called it Greenland, which has served ever since to confuse travellers like me about the relative hospitality of the two countries' climates.
My friends and relatives were equally confused when I came back after three days in Reykjavik with a healthy suntan - 'But I thought you'd been to Iceland?' they said.
So I had, mopping up the sunshine in a three-day break with whale-watching, bird-watching, horse-riding and camera-snapping around Iceland's spectacular mountains, glaciers, lakes and thermal springs.
Iceland is a land of surprises. The first is that it has a mere 280,000 inhabitants - most of whom speak perfec... more
