Iceland is just as incredible in winter as it is in summer. If you go in February, you'll still have enough daylight to explore during the day and of course the amazing Northern Lights. I went on a two-week trip and loved every minute of it.Here are http://thebohochica.com/10-secrets-about-visiting-iceland-in-winter/- for one, it works out to way cheaper than a summer trip.http://thebohochica.com/best-things-to-do-in-reykjavik-for-first-timers/ and sightsee for a day or two, then do a day trip to the http://thebohochica.com/icelands-wild-west-highlights-snaefellsnes-peninsula/ (this is where the movie the Secret Life of Walter Mitty was shot) that is full of some amazing landscapes and not as crowded as the South Coast. Then spend http://thebohochica.com/icelands-south-coast-two-days/- explore the Golden Circle (Gulfoss, Geysir and Thingvellir National Park), http://thebohochica.com/raufarholshellir-lava-tube-cave-iceland/, Seljalandsfoss (the waterfall you can walk behind), hike on a glacier (Solheimajokull), go to Skogafoss, the town of Vik and Hofn, black sand beach at Reynisfjara, plane wreck site at Solheimasandur and go all the way to the Glacier Lagoon (weather permitting). Then return to Reykjavik and stop at the Secret Lagoon on the way- there is NOTHING like being in a hot thermal pool during winter. It's one of the best things to do in Iceland in winter.Then head to North Iceland for a couple of days. Base yourself in Akureyri- you can ski here and visit the areas around such as Myvatn, Siglufjordur, Olafsfjordur, the island of Grimsey and Dimmuborgir National Park.

Swimming pool - you would love the feeling when your body is warm and the head is freezing :DNorthern Lights - It is one of the main reasons, why many tourists come here during the autumn/ winter.Skiing - If you're planning to stay in Reykjavik, could do that 25min. away from the city at http://skidasvaedi.is/english/They rent all equipment, so the only thing you'd need are warm clothes.
