At the start of 2017, I had the feeling that the year was going to be an uneventful one. However, I am very thankful I was wrong.
Iceland is virtually erupting with travelers.
A 30% annual increase in visitors for the last four years has made tourism the #1 industry, surpassing fishing and aluminum production.
The Kenai Peninsula, south of Anchorage, proved to be a scenic wonder. Towering mountains, aqua-tinted glacier ice, Bald Eagles, and of course, whales!
With a culture made up of Nordic folklore, exciting festivals, historic landscapes, and breathtaking landscapes and geological formations, Iceland gives its visitors a vast array of experiences.
