But, going there in summer is too hot (I would reccomend spring or autmn) and the trip to the beach is disguisting because it's too far from the civilisation if you dont have your own car or rent. You would have bad time getting there with a bus. But, still going there even with a bus is worth seeing that beuty! The Blue Lagoon in Malta is one of the BEST beaches you can visit!

Just to the east is the Skaftafell National Park which is very beautiful - I was there in August, it was great sunny weather, very surreal hiking in a T-shirt and looking down on the vast glaciers. The pattterns left by the sediment on the ice are incredible: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=64.039456,-17.129745&spn=0.139920,0.390083&t=k&hl=en Papapenguin, that is the Skeidararjokull glacier.

That's not the same blue lagoon. That one is in the bahamas. And it's a very nice place might I add! MrWhipple are you joking?

Course, it meant for the maddest of mad dashes from the pool to the locker rooms when it was time to go...

That whole segment of the Reykanes peninsula has a fascinating landscape, too, you can see in the satellite image. The surface is just very rough volcanic rock, in small (2-4 foot) protrusions and dips. I just took a vacation to Iceland, most of my photos are geotagged for geobloggers.com: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alyaandreed/sets/930406/ (hit the "geotagged" link below a photo). Check out the glacial icecaps. There is a place you can drive up to the edge of one, it's interesting: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alyaandreed/42468714/in/set-930406/ Congratulations on your engagement!
