Of a population numbering
just over a quarter of a million, half live in the capital, Reykjavik,
and its neighboring towns in the southwest. Keflavik International

is uninhabited (and uninhabitable), and most of the population is
situated along the coast.
In spite of its mid-Atlantic location,
Iceland is on Greenwich Mean Time all year round. There is a
five-hour time difference between New York and Iceland. Iceland is
served only by Icelandair from the USA with departures from New York,
Boston, Baltimore and Minneapolis. Flight time is about 5-6 hours
from the USA and 4-5 hours from Europe. Stop-overs in Iceland are
allowed on flights between USA and Europe usually at no additional
airfare.
A good introduction to the nature of
this country along with its culture and society. Special spring and
autumn departures as well as summer.
Note it is necessary to book additional nights before and after the
tour in Reykjavik.
