Chances are when you visit Iceland, you will stop through their capital and largest city of Reykjavik. Grab a rental car and head 6 miles outside the city to check out the breathtaking Esja Mountain. Don’t be fooled by this country’s name, as only 10% of it is actually covered by ice. Believe it or not Iceland enjoys many warm months throughout the year.
