When exploring Iceland, beware of throwing stones. You might hit the huldufólk, the hidden elves and fairies of Icelandic folklore. Locals believe they live under rocks, around boundless lava fields, near gushing geysers, atop dramatic waterfalls. Once you wander from its quirky capital to its lunar-like lands speckled with black-sand dunes and jagged mountains, you'll begin believing in them too.

Icelandic people are very imaginative—a portion of the nation even believes in the existence of elves and fairies (the huldufólk).
