40. Western Fjords, Iceland: Iceland Beyond the Ring Road
Most visitors to Iceland stick to the south coast or the Golden Circle. But venture west to the Westfjords, and you’ll find jagged coastlines, puffin-covered cliffs, and geothermal pools with no one else around. Drive winding roads to Ísafjörður, hike to hidden waterfalls, and camp by the sea where the sun barely sets. It’s Iceland at its most elemental—and least Instagrammed.
