The Northern Lights

Winter Wonders... 

"Visit Iceland in winter?" you ask, "Isn't it too cold?" Actually, the temperature in Iceland in January is about the same as it is in New York City - Iceland has the added spectacle of the Northern Lights. Winter is also the cheapest time to visit: some flights and accommodations cost HALF what they do in the tourist season. See your travel agent for details about winter bargains. 

SOME SUGGESTIONS: 
Visit the glaciers.  Go skiing in Akuryeri.  Drive the "Golden Circle". Hang out in a Reykjavik cafe. Go whale watching in the Westmann Isles. Ride Icelandic horses. Take an historic tour. Go trout fishing.  Tour the hot springs.  Go birdwatching.
