Gap year travellers who want to experience something a little different during their trip may want to head to Iceland.
According to Lisa Young writing for City AM, the country is "starkly beautiful and untamed, overflowing with adventure".
The natural landscape provides plenty of activities for travellers, she revealed, including the natural geothermal spa called the Blue Lagoon.
And those looking to dive into a bit more adventure on their break can do so by spending a day scuba diving or snorkelling in Silfra.
