The real green-land was Iceland

I visited Iceland in January and it felt like I was in the different planet. The day was only 3-4 hours of sunlight and the land was vast and so diverse. I loved the Icelandic volcanoes, waterfalls, glaciers and geothermal pools. Reykjavík was a beautiful and small city with interesting museums and great performances at the Harpa.
