Iceland was crowned as the ‘Best Adventure Travel Destination’ for its breathtaking ‘lunar landscapes’ and welcoming atmosphere, as voted by Sunday Times Travel Magazine readers.

This award is the third that Iceland has won over recent months, achieving the ‘Best in Travel’ as part of the annual Lonely Planet ‘Reader’s Choice Awards,’ as well as being included in National Geographic Traveler’s pick of the ‘Best of the World 2012.’
