Low Price Flights to Iceland
Resting on the edge of the Arctic Circle and sitting atop one of the world's most volcanically active hotspots, Iceland is nowadays thought of for its striking mix of magisterial glaciers, bubbling hot springs and rugged fjords, where activities such as hiking under the Midnight Sun are complemented by healthy doses of history and literature.

Historically, the Icelanders have a mix of Nordic and Celtic blood, a heritage often held responsible for their characteristically laconic approach to life - taps in hotels often drip, buses don't depart to the stroke of the driver's watch, and everybody, including the President and the Prime Minister, is known by their first name. The battle for survival against the elements over the centuries has also made them a highly self-reliant nation, whose dependence on the sea and fishing for their economy is virtually total - hence their refusal to allow foreign trawlers to fish off Iceland during the diplomatically tense 1970s, sparking off three "Cod Wars", principally with Britain. However, their isolated location in the North Atlantic also means that their island is frequently forgotten about - Icelanders will tell you that they've given up counting how many times they've been left off maps of Europe - something that deeply offends their strong sense of national pride. For all their self-confidence though, they can seem an initially reserved people - until Friday and Saturday nights roll around, when the bjór starts to flow, and turns even the most monosyllabic fisherman into a lucid talkshow host, right down to reciting from memory entire chunks of medieval sagas about the early settlers.
