A trip to Iceland, land of extremes and contrasts, bordering the polar circle, is the occasion for a fabulous lesson in geology.

8. Utah, USA
With a past made up of cowboy legends and stories, a trip to Utah is a dive into the deep American West, that of books and cinema. This state fascinates with its history but also with its landscapes--as diverse as sumptuous, from the green plains to the arid deserts overhung by snow-capped peaks.
9. Greenland
Often in the shadow of other nearby destinations, Greenland is a fabulous country that deserves a spot on this list. Cruising is one of the best ways to discover this territory, as there is no real road network. This adventure of a lifetime will take you to places you never imagined and cross paths with people you never thought you would meet.
10. Nepal
A small legendary country in the Himalayas, landlocked between India and China (Tibet), Nepal has long been difficult to access. Eight of the 10 highest peaks in the world are found on its territory, including Mount Everest. The country attracts many trekking enthusiasts who want to explore the most beautiful trails in the world. Nepal also seduces for its culture, the ethnic diversity of its inhabitants and the richness of its religious heritage in the Kathmandu region.
