May is a great month to visit Iceland. It’s sunny, the puffins are back, and this year, you can visit an active eruption site. Plus, there are plenty of tours to join. Here are some ideas on how to spend this May in Iceland.
While you’re checking things off the list, we encourage you to take photos, and tag them with #whatsonrvk, of course!
