Travel: there's no place on earth like Iceland By April Shepperd Iceland does not captivate with magnificent cities or countless tourist attractions. It offers something much more powerful - a profound glimpse of the powers of nature and how small humans are in its midst.

Each day new land is born with the eruption of volcanoes, and each day area is lost with the calving of icebergs and the crashing of evolving seas.
