If you want to escape the city and see a bit more of Iceland, this trip is ideal. It introduces you to the country's south coast, where thundering waterfalls, snow-topped volcanoes and a stark coastline lie ready and waiting.You'll make a couple of stops at the area's biggest waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss, where you'll have enough time to take some photos. Eyjafjallajökull is part of the line-up, too.The volcano that erupted back in 2010 is a picture of serenity these days, sleeping soundly beneath a huge sheet of ice and snow. The real highlight of the day, though, is Vik. This huge beach is covered in black pebbles, and boasts weird and wonderful basalt rock formations.

The inside story
The DC Plane wreck is a famous site in the South of Iceland, particularly beloved by local and visiting photographers for its rusting shell on dark black sand. The aircraft was originally in possession of the US Navy and is considered to be a symbol of the golden age of air travel.
Originally used for cargo, the US Navy was routinely flying over Iceland in the 1970s and as a part of its defence agreement with the country. The aircraft crashed into Solheimasandur on Wednesday, November 21st, 1973. It was flying from Hofn on Iceland's East coast and onboard were 7 crew members.
It's never been confirmed the reason for the crash, with several theories flying about. Regardless of the reason, all that matters is that no one was injured during the crash.
