Iceland

Iceland, the land of ice and fire, of volcanoes and glaciers, waterfalls and fjords, nature in its purest and rawest state. It makes you want to go there, right? There is only one small catch, Iceland is one of the most expensive destinations in the world and for that reason alone it is not on my list of countries to visit... soon. Maybe one day you'll do like Gemma, who visited the country a few weeks ago, forget the budget and go live an unique experience.

Gemma is one of my penpals and in the next letter she'll tell me all about this trip. While she was traveling, she sent me this card with some beautiful Icelandic landscapes.
Clockwise: Vestrahorn Mountain; puffins; Seljalandsfoss waterfall, one of the most photogenic and unique (Seljalandsfoss is one of the very rare waterfalls, anywhere in the world, where it is possible to walk behind the narrow, cascading falls) of Icelandic waterfalls; the Skógafoss waterfall and Reynisdrangar, basalt sea stacks situated under the mountain Reynisfjall near the village Vík í Mýrdal.
