Iceland is known as the land of fire and ice. Its dramatic landscapes carved through history give way to a destination home to steaming volcanoes while holding vast sheets of ice and a countryside dotted by small towns and lit up by the Northern Lights.
It's a sight to behold and no wonder it's one of the hottest travel destinations on earth.
Right now, the U.S. lists Iceland as having a Level 4 (Do Not Travel) advisory due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
For those who choose to go, the country is relatively safe, requiring masks indoors and that visitors be vaccinated for COVID.
There's no quarantine for travelers. However, travelers will need to test negative for COVID before departing their home country and take a test two days after arriving in Iceland.
There is also a pre-registration at covid.is where visitors upload their information and fill out a health screening questionnaire.
Iceland can be a jumping-off place for a longer trip or serve as a one-stop destination, serving up natural features that include glaciers, hot springs, geysers, active volcanoes, portentous peaks and vast lava deserts over an expansive landscape.
