Duration: < 1 week to 1 week

Most people that go to Iceland go in the summer, but there's a whole other side to this place in the winter months. (It is called "Iceland," after all.)

Spend five days doing really cool things like hiking glaciers, snowshoeing through Þingvellir National Park, reflecting on life under the Northern Lights, and warming up in Geysir Hot Springs, all the while staying in a character-filled renovated farmhouse. See another side of this amazing country.
