Hvalfjördur (the Whale Fjord), Iceland

In 1980, this was one of the biggest whaling stations in Iceland. Today, whales can still be spotted in this 30-kilometer long fjord. For daredevils and those who take inspiration from majestic natural structures, Glymur - Iceland’s 2nd tallest waterfall- can be found on one end of this fjord. Hotel Glymur is the perfect place to stay to take advantage of all these natural activities. Not only will you be wowed by whales and waterfalls, you will also be able to trek volcanoes and acquaint yourself with Icelandic food and culture. [Photo via]
