Those of you who have traveled across Europe - whether that be via the thrill of Interrailing or the spontaneity of backpacking - will know all too well that Iceland isn’t exactly en route to, well, anywhere. Of course being absent from the backpacker’s classic route and instead slap-bang in the middle of North Atlantic Ocean far away from much of the mainland has its advantages; cleaner waters, less-densely populated areas, unspoiled natural beauty and perhaps most alluring of all for us Europeans, it’s about as far away from Europe’s dramas (Brexit negotiations, avocado shortages - the list
