The Grapevine's take
Landmannalaugar
Of all the deep nature of the South, the astounding Landmannalaugar is a true must-see. “It’s a stunning place with fantastic views,” said the panel. You could spend days hiking the trails, which wind around the geothermal area where hot steam pours from vividly coloured mountains. There are captivating lava fields, a bright green canyon, crater lakes, and lots more. Only accessible in summer, buses arrive at the campsite daily; Don’t forget your swimming gear—there’s a geothermal bathing spot.
