That said, the amenities and towns that the islands do have will delight you with splashes of local culture and friendliness.

Iceland has boomed in popularity in recent years, and for great reason. This Northern country is full of stunning scenery including black sand beaches, volcanoes, craters, lagoons, and rolling fields. While each season definitely has something to offer, visiting in winter tends to make the scenery even more dramatic. Just be sure to pack appropriately and schedule your activities based on daylight/nighttime hours!

That’s right, Lake Tahoe absolutely comes alive in the winter, and along with the skiing, there are plenty of other snowy activities to try such as hiking backcountry trails, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, or sleigh riding.
