			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-683" title="iceland" src="http://www.bestplaces2visit.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/iceland-300x180.jpg" alt="iceland" width="277" height="172" />Iceland was settled in the 9th century by Norse vikings. The first settlement to last was that of Ingolfur Arnarson in Reykjavik. This is where most of the people of Iceland live. Reykjavik has a bustling nightlive, an exciting arts scene, and offers visitors the opportunity to explore the countryside in short trips to areas such as Thingvellir, Gullfoss and Geysir.</p>
<p>If you are interested in nature, Iceland is a great place to visit. In the summer, many companies offer guided bus trips that will take you around the country. <span id="more-682"></span>You can also take the bus by yourself and go on hikes near places such as Thorsmoerk, Snaefellsjoekull, and more. Another alternative is to ride horseback across the highlands.</p>
<p>Additional Notes:  The terrain in Iceland is so rugged due to centuries of volcanic activity, this is where the US tested their lunar landing module that eventually drove on the moon!</p>
<p>Also because of Norse woodcutting and volcanic activity, there are virtually no trees on the island!  There is one small &#8220;forest&#8221; that is a national reservation.</p>
