Known for its black sand beaches, thundering waterfalls, glaciers, and as the home of the original Geysir, South Iceland is also the country’s pantry, with greenhouses, farms, grazing sheep, and volcanic energy everywhere. No wonder it’s Iceland’s most popular region to visit – dramatic, fertile, and full of life. If you’re looking for solitude, try the other corners of the country.
