No Experience Required

You step into the van in Reykjavik before dawn; the city slips behind you and the road opens into a landscape that seems intent on proving it invented extremes. By midmorning the air smells of steam and hot earth as Strokkur bellows from a steaming bowl and geyser water hurls itself skyward every few minutes. Later the river grows impatient and throws itself over rock at Gullfoss, a two-tiered cascade that seems to rearrange the valley with each seasonal flood.
