Fire below the ice: flight from Nice to Iceland
A flight from Nice to Iceland takes you to one of the most fascinating and unique islands in the world. Don't be fooled by its name - it's misleading! It means ‘land of ice,’ and yet Iceland breathes fire through every pore, from geysers, volcanoes and the springs that supply many geothermal baths and spas. And the population is in unison! When the sun fails to shine, the Ice-landic people comfort their guests with the gentlest of any heat, the warmth of their hearts. The atmosphere even becomes incandescent in the evening, when Reykjavík gets into party mode in its many bars, pubs and discos. Alt-hough the starry sky regularly puts on spectacular displays of dancing green or purple (northern) lights, some locals prefer another kind of spectacle, the sparkling lights of an all-nighter!

Nature, the true treasure of the Vikings
A flight from Nice to Iceland is just the first stage in a journey that will take you to the main natural treasures of this Scandinavian land. It almost always takes the same route: Route 1. Known as the ‘circular route,’ it goes round the entire island. If you follow it, you're almost certain to enjoy a holiday full of thrills. Such as?
The awe of spotting some of the many whales that cruise close to the coast from spring to summer. The poetic wonder of contemplat-ing the glistening blocks of ice that dot the black sand of Diamond Beach, close to the Jökulsárlón lagoon and its icebergs.
The brutal impact of Strok-kur and Geysir, the island's most famous geysers, and the infernal but star-tling noise made by the waterfalls and cascades of Godafoss, Dettifoss and Svartifoss. And, of course, the pleasure of bathing in the milky 38°C waters of the famous Blue Lagoon. And these are just a few examples of the thou-sand wonders awaiting you when your flight from Nice to Iceland touches down.
