Today's Photo of the Day may seem a bit pedestrian: it's a cup of (likely) mediocre airplane coffee. But the napkin comes with a fun fact about Icelandic settler Ingólfur Arnarson, whose trip from Norway took four days, and there were no napkins. Too bad he couldn't fly Iceland Air, like Flickr user shapes of dreams, who snapped this on her way to Reykjavik. Bonus points for her stylish ...

Aug 24th, 2011 at 3:30PM: Labor Day is fast approaching along with the official end of summer. If you haven't had enough sun yet, maybe it's time for one more weekend of lying on the beach, fruity cocktail and fun book in hand? We asked our friends at Wanderfly.com, a web travel tool that helps you choose a vacation spot, for some Labor Day island getaways offering deals for the long weekend.

Watch this video, and prepare to enter the Twilight Zone of weird airline video clips. According to our source, the video was created by employees of Iceland Air for the 2010 crew ball, as a way to show the lineup of 2011 uniforms.
I'll admit that my Icelandic isn't good enough to have a clue what they are talking about, but the pleasant mix of dancing crew members and European music makes ...

Oct 8th, 2010 at 10:30AM: D.C. has been hot, hot, hot, recently - or should we say ice cold? Beginning on May 17, 2011, Icelandair will launch their eighth North American gateway with seasonal service from Washington Dulles International Airport. From May through mid-September, the airline will offer four weekly flights.
Early bird fares begin as low as $429 round trip, perhaps giving travelers reason to hop the pond ...

Aug 11th, 2010 at 4:30PM: The past few years haven't been all that kind to Iceland. After practicing a uniquely aggressive form of finance – maybe it should have been called "Viking derivatives" – the country felt massively the effects of the global financial crisis, screwing things up for British depositors who were parking their cash in these arctic savings accounts to score double-digit interest rates for ...

Nov 4th, 2009 at 2:30PM: I'm kind of obsessed with Iceland. Ask me about the country and get ready to endure my lengthy soliloquy on why I love it so much.

Drive a few minutes away from Reykjavik and you'll see mountains topped with snow, former lava ...

Iceland. Just the name makes you shiver. But despite its frigid moniker, Iceland is surprisingly warm, especially during the long days of summer. With almost 24 hours of daylight, it's the perfect time to explore the country's other-worldly landscape. Watch geysers erupt, scamper over moss-covered former lava fields, stand in the shadows of plunging waterfalls, hike through rifts in the earth's ...
