ICELAND
Drone photography is giving a photographer a new perspective on the landscape and nature. To be able to fly closer to the mountains, up narrow canyons, over craters, down waterfalls and more is a great way of seeing the landscape and nature of Iceland.
Iceland is spectacular in so many ways and Icelandic nature is quite unique with its vast landscape, volcanic activity, geothermal areas, glacier lagoons and sceneries, black sand beaches and spectacular mountain ridges. The country's most recognizable series of attractions though are maybe the endless number of waterfalls making Iceland quite unique.
Earth and water. Dragons and Sprites hunters. Do you know that Iceland has the highest number of dragon slayers in the world? True story, check in their phonebook. It’s not hard to believe in elves and dragons in landscapes like these. Imagination starts to work on a different level, and you feel like a small child facing this impressive, overwhelming nature.
On the pictures, you can see all those favorite spots known from Game of Thrones, Prometheus, Fast&Furious, etc. Filmmakers love Iceland, like everybody. That's why it's quite hard to feel its mightiness alone. Our advice is to go off the path and entirely before tourist season, in winter or early spring.

THE NATION
Iceland has a market economy with relatively low taxes, compared to other OECD countries. It maintains a Nordic social welfare system that provides universal health care and tertiary education for its citizens. Iceland ranks high in economic, political, and social stability and equality. In 2016, it was listed as the 9th most developed country in the world by the United Nations' Human Development Index, and it ranks first on the GPI (Global Peace Index). Iceland operates almost completely on renewable energy. |
WATER CURE
Every Icelandic town, no matter how small, has its own pool. There are ramshackle cement rectangles squatting under rain clouds in the sheep-strewn boonies. These public pools, or sundlaugs, serve as the communal heart of Iceland, sacred places whose affordability and ubiquity are viewed as a kind of civil right. Families and teenagers and older people lounge and chat in sundlaugs every day, summer or winter.
