Iceland is a short flight away but feels like another world. Waterfalls pour off black cliffs, glaciers reach down to the sea, and steam rises from the ground.
In winter the northern lights dance overhead; in summer the sun barely sets. A new wave of design-led hotels makes it very comfortable to explore.
