The Icelandic Winter Wonderland is like no other. The landscape changes completely, the horses even change their look and the views are outstanding. Northern Lights, snow, glacier, waterfalls and all the best in its winter coat.

Icelandic winter is extraordinary. It’s hard to describe it so I will not, I will let the photos speak.
