You and Iceland: A Tale of Two Tropical Paradises (Except One Isn't Tropical)
Ever dreamt of trading in your air conditioner for a chance to cuddle with a puffin? Yeah, me neither. But maybe you've been struck by a travel bug with a hankering for glaciers and geysers. In that case, Iceland might be calling your name (although, due to limited puffin-cuddling opportunities, it might be a very polite whisper). But before you pack your swimsuit (because let's face it, swimming with the fishes in Iceland might involve a survival suit), you might be wondering: just how far away is this land of fire and ice from the sunshine state?
Further Than Your Local Pub Crawl (But Way More Rewarding)
Here's the deal: Iceland and Florida are about as close as your grandma is to winning the Tour de France (bless her heart). We're talking thousands of miles (or a few thousand kilometers, for our metric system friends). Think transatlantic flight, not a quick weekend road trip.
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.

The Great Divide: Miles vs. Memories
Sure, the distance might seem daunting, but Iceland offers an adventure unlike anything you'll find wrestling alligators in the Everglades (although, that might be an adventure too... but a different kind of adventure). Glacier hikes, geothermal pools, and the chance to witness the awe-inspiring Northern Lights are just a few reasons why Iceland is worth the extra legwork (or should we say, wingwork?).
So How Far Exactly? Buckle Up, Buttercup!
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
We're talking around 3,600 miles, which translates to roughly 11 to 13 hours on a plane. Not exactly a hop, skip, and a jump, but hey, think of all the in-flight movies you can watch!
