• 63.983-19.0673 Landmannalaugar (the hot baths of the locals)  – This region is one of the most spectacular in Iceland. The Landmannalaugar massif in central Iceland presents a turbulent landscape. Volcanic activity has forged reddish craters, rhyolite mountains, valleys and ash fields that rub shoulders with deep blue lakes. (last update Feb. 2018)
• 64.3303-16.56734 Vatnajökull National Park  – the largest ice cap in Iceland. It is also, if we exclude the ice cap of Severny Island in New Zemble, the largest in Europe and the second largest after Austfonna. Located in the South East of Iceland, it is fully included in the Vatnajökull National Park. Some volcanoes are found under the ice like Grímsvötn or Bárðarbunga and are responsible for jökulhlaups, brutal floods caused by melting ice. (last update Feb. 2018)
