Reykjavik, Iceland

Leon S. IES London Health Practice and Policy Program

WHY SHOULD I VISIT?

Coming from London, Iceland was a dramatic departure from the familiar cityscape. Black sand beaches, hot springs, and waterfalls fill the countryside. Iceland’s unique location between two tectonic plates gives it a diversity of geological features not seen anywhere else in the world. For lovers of nature, Iceland represents the opportunity to explore a landscape unlike any other. If you’re more of a city slicker, the city of Reykjavik has lots of cute coffee shops and stores to explore along with unique architecture.

THE 'UNMISSABLE' ITINERARY
