23 July 2008 to 27 July 2008, Iceland

Less than three hours away, Iceland could almost be another planet. Home to active volcanoes, sheer granite mountains, glaciers, thundering waterfalls, steaming lava fields, plunging fjords, boiling mud pools and spouting geysers, it is often described as a wonder of the Natural World.
