13．Located in the North Atlantic Ocean，Iceland is Europe's westernmost country，with the most northerly capital city in the world．Viking explorers moved here from northern Europe in 930A．D．The country's national language can still be traced to the one spoken by the Vikings over 1，000years ago．Despite its small size，there are many reasons to visit this country．
Most visitors'first port （港口城市） of call is the country's capital，Reykjavik，a small and clean city known for its colorful and stylish architecture．In 2000，Reykjavik was awarded the title of Europe's City of Culture，thanks to its impressive art and museum scenes，arid lively nightlife．
The good news for visitors is that Iceland's temperatures are fairly mild （溫和的），even in the winter when they stay at around four degrees．During winter months，nights are long．In summer，the country gets almost 22hours of daylight，and native Icelanders and visitors alike enjoy partying outdoors until dawn．
Iceland is one of the most volcanically active nations in the world，and there are a number of hot springs around the island．One of Iceland's most popular hot springs is the Blue Lagoon，a huge lake of bright blue seawater just outside Reykjavik．Surrounded by volcanoes，the Blue Lagoon receives more than 300，000visitors a year．
Most of the inner part of Iceland is accessible only by truck or other vehicle．Nevertheless，there is a range of outdoor activities to enjoy along the coasts．One of Iceland's most popular attractions is caving．Exploring Iceland's unusual lava （火山巖） caves，most of which formed more than 10，000years ago，requires only basic caving knowledge and equipment．Ice caves，however，are more challenging and require special clothes and hiking tools．The best-known ice caves are in Vatnajokull．
And finally，no trip m Iceland would be complete without a visit to the Golden Circle．The mid-Atlantic fault that runs through Iceland is pulling the island apart．Nowhere is this more obvious than in the Thingvellir Valley，where the land is actually separating and the stony ground under your feet frequently moves．Hold on while you hike!
