The Polar Regions are more than blankets of white upon pillows of snow. It is a wilderness of elemental forces beyond your wildest dreams.

Sheldon Chalet
Perched on a nunatak in the Don Sheldon Amphitheater of Denali's magnificent Ruth Glacier, just 10 miles from the summit, Sheldon Chalet is more than a place to stay, it's an exclusive experience of grand proportion. Sheldon Chalet is as unique as the surroundings are breathtaking. Fine dining, luxury accommodations and exquisite service are a commitment to the property’s distinctive environment. 50 years and three generations of the Sheldon Family have worked to make the vision of Don and Roberta Sheldon a reality.

Leisha’s Top 3 Tips: Circling through Iceland.
Leisha sips on champagne while relaxing in the Blue Lagoon in Iceland.
Right in between Reykjavík central and Keflavík International Airport you will find the Blue Lagoon, which is one of the most popular places in Iceland to visit. If you are not planning to stay at the resort and would rather spend half a day, I would recommend doing upon arrival and before making your way to the city center or unwinding after adventures on your way to the airport. There is a luggage drop-off near the entrance, so you don't need to worry about your bags.
The weather in Iceland can be unpredictable. One minute it is gorgeous and sunny and the next you are in a downpour. Bring a waterproof jacket, good shoes to walk in and be prepared to layer, layer, layer.
One of the best ways to explore Iceland is by car and driving along the Golden Circle. Be vigilant when driving as the roads are narrow and as pointed out above, the weather can change quickly. In the summertime you can take advantage of the 20 hours of daylight to explore the vast lands, but remember to call it a day at the hint of a yawn.
