Volcanic eruptions are very common in Iceland, and most locals will know if there is one happening, and point you in the right direction if you want to see it.
Whale watching in the seas around Iceland is very popular, and there are always boats lining the Reykjavik harbour waiting for someone to charter them.
The Extreme North of the country is within the Arctic Circle, which means that during the peak of summer, the sun shines for a full 24 hours per day, and in winter does not rise at all. It is also the best place to see the Northern lights. The Aurora Borealis is at its peak in April, and the sky is alive with colour.
The local drink is known as firewater, and lives up to its name. If you get friendly with the locals, they will always offer to introduce you to this dubious pleasure, and the other Icelandic custom whereby during the summer, when the sun shines constantly it is only time to go to bed when you pass out.
