A glacier hike is among one of the best ways to see this amazing world phenomenon. Iceland's close proximity to the arctic circle and it's mountainous inner highlands makes Iceland one of the best places in the world to see glaciers. Along the drive of the south coast, as you head west, you will see glaciers peeping out to your left, bright blues breaking through the white snow.

Once there it’s all Margaritaville, sunshine, and bikinis. Watch my video of the Florida…
