Volcanoes, geysers, and Björk: Who couldn’t love Iceland? Twenty-four hour winter darkness makes it less than appealing as a year-round destination, but as gonzo weekend venues go it’s hard to beat. Stay in a luxury furnished apartment in downtown Reykjavik with A Room With a View, soak in the mineral-rich waters of The Blue Lagoon (above), and go on a driving tour of the geothermal zone of Geysir (where the word originated) and the Great Atlantic Rift with Iceland excursions. Icelandair’s Lucky Fares are legendary, plus there’s a fall fare sale under way.
