The north of Iceland holds some of the country’s most spectacular natural sites,
from the huge and powerful Dettifoss waterfall to Lake Mývatn, the Ásbyrgi canyon
and the vast, treacherous volcanic desert of the Highlands. Fewer tourists come
here than to the south and west of Iceland, making it feel somewhat open and
spacious; the “northern capital” of Akureyri is a focal point—a pretty and relatively
cosmopolitan town—and both Siglufjörður and the whale-watching hub of Húsavík
are well worth a visit. The northernmost point of Iceland is Grímsey Island, and you
can hop there on a plane there to set foot in the Arctic Circle.
