From the beginning, my mistake was not realizing how drastically the weather can change from one region to the next. Now after visiting the country more than eight times, I've become an expert on what to pack for a trip to Iceland. I've learned that a backpack filled with back-up waterproof jackets and pants are a must, and that having more layers is better than just wearing one.

During trips to Iceland, I visited both the Blue Lagoon and the Sky Lagoon.

The landscape is plentiful in jagged ridges, volcanic deserts, glacial valleys, and panoramic views - it's a land built to humble. But it also has some of the best, most epic, and fun mountain trails that I've ever ridden. That's right, Iceland is a mountain bike destination, and it has its own five-day mountain bike stage race, and it might be the most epic on the calendar.

Kylian Mbappe is now ahead of Thierry Henry on France's list of all-time top scorers as Didier Deschamps' side beat Iceland 2-1 in a dramatic World Cup qualifier. Aurelien Tchouameni was sent off midway through the second half at the Parc des Princes, where Andri Gudjohnsen thought he had snatched a last-gasp leveller, only to be frustrated by a VAR review. Iceland took an unlikely lead when Gudjohnsen netted from close range in the 21st minute, following Michael Olise's error.

Due to its size and little population, Iceland might lack the critical mass needed for a good conspiracy and misinformation campaign,

A volcano erupted on Iceland's Reykjanes peninsula early Wednesday, marking the ninth eruption since late 2023, with lava spewing from a fissure about 1.5 miles long.

The Sundhnukur volcano has erupted near Iceland's capital, Reykjavik, marking the 12th volcanic eruption since 2021, according to the Icelandic Meteorological Office.

Iceland is one of the easiest countries in Europe to get a working visa, known for its breathtaking volcanic landscapes and healthy work-life balance.

Iceland almost scored inside the first minute when Ingibjorg Sigurdardottir's half-volley struck the crossbar following her connection with a long throw.

The Swiss had the ball in the net on the half-hour mark after Svenja Foelmli's header was helped into her own goal by Glodis Viggosdottir, but the strike was ruled out after a VAR review found that Foelmli had committed a foul in the build-up.

"Bathe among a breathtaking landscape. Nestled among the mountains and overlooking the Hvítá River, the exquisite two-story lagoon envelopes guests in its warm geothermal water, perfectly balanced with the landscape."

Located just 50 minutes north of Reykjavik, the Hvammsvík Hot Springs offers an unparalleled experience of soaking in geothermal waters amidst Iceland's stunning landscapes.

Getting a working visa in some European countries can be tricky due to long wait times and high unemployment, but some countries offer easier pathways.

While China leads in total seafood consumption, Iceland tops the per capita list, showcasing a whopping 87.1 kilograms per person compared to China's 41.5.
