"In Iceland, renting a car and doing a self-drive is both oddly relaxing and super scenic. So two hours in the Icelandic countryside, studded with wild horses and the wooliest sheep, is hardly like two hours in traffic on the turnpike. And then once you reach the South, you're officially in a magical place."
