Water and snow, sticks and stones, beaches and baths – Iceland is one big playground for the little people.

From mid-May to mid-July, the midnight sun illuminates Icelandic nights. While some people might have trouble sleeping, others embrace the energy and make the most of the endless light. We tell you, how!

Iceland has 266 museums. The obsession alone is strange.

The 13 Yule Lads, their mother Grýla, and the Yule Cat are all members of the same family of trolls associated with Icelandic folklore. They are typically mountain-dwelling, but during the Christmas season, they sometimes visit human settlements, and while some are friendly, others are not. If you're planning to visit Iceland during the holiday season, it's a good idea to learn about these characters and how to avoid ending up on their Christmas buffet. You can also learn the proper procedures for getting the yule lads to bring presents to children.

When can I wear a lopapeysa, how do I layer it, how do I pick the right one and how do I wash it? 

Seen that mountain somewhere? Iceland's landscape is a backdrop in major blockbusters. Batman and James Bond have at least one thing in common: Both have been filmed at the foot of Svínafellsjökull Glacier.
