Iceland
Ironically enough, for a place called "Iceland," there really isn't much ice.
In fact, there are many more hot springs, waterfalls, geysers, volcanoes, black sand beaches and steaming lava fields.
Weather did not work in my favor the couple of days I was there, but it is definitely a location I would love to return to!
