Hotels in North Iceland, Iceland

North Iceland is a rugged region near the Arctic Circle, famous for its volcanic landscapes and the powerful Dettifoss waterfall. Winters dip to around 30°F (-1°C), perfect for chasing the northern lights from the Lake Mývatn area, while summers hit 50°F (10°C) for midnight sun hikes through the Askja caldera and whale-watching tours from Húsavík harbor. The region splits into the lava fields around Mývatn for geothermal baths and the remote Westfjords for kayaking along the Ísafjörður fjord.
