The spotlight is on Iceland this summer as the destination is added to the UK’s green list, writes Katie McGonagle
Iceland is unlikely to have featured in your top-selling summer spots before. Travellers flock to its volcanic landscapes in search of soft adventure, the northern lights and perhaps a dip in the Blue Lagoon, but bucket-and-spade holidays? No chance.
