Pictures That Prove Iceland A Mythical Place

Have you ever wondered why Iceland is called this way despite the fact that it’s filled with wonderful green woods, fields of flowers and lakes?

Local legend has it that a Viking King named it Iceland in order to make sure that no outsiders want to visit the land so that the Vikings could have it all to themselves.

With that said, today we are going to show you 20 pictures which will make it clear that Iceland is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and why you might want to visit it in your next vacation!

20. Beautiful Rainbow

Even though this picture might look too amazing to be real, we assure you that it’s not photoshopped. This is how the Kirkufell looks like after it rains. The rainbows that appear there are jaw-dropping!

19. The Blue Lagoon

While the name Iceland makes you think of the freezing cold, there are lots of places where you can take a relaxing bath such as the steamy outdoor spa featured in the picture above.

The water temperature in this blue lagoon is 98 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit.

18. Amazing Waterfall

Have you ever dreamed about what it would be like to stand inside a waterfall? Well, this is exactly what you can do if you decide to visit Iceland’s Seljalandsfoss. To make things even better, the northern lights can be seen from here.

17. The Midnight Sun

Iceland is commonly known as the land of the “midnight sun”. The reason behind this is that during June each year, the sun in Iceland rises at 3 am! You need to pack a pair of sunglasses during this period.
