Every bend in the road offers a waterfall more spectacular than the last.
Pros
- Dramatic and unique landscapes (waterfalls, glaciers, volcanoes)
- Possibility of seeing Northern Lights (in winter)
Cons
- It is an extremely expensive destination
- Unpredictable, cold and windy weather even in summer
