For those with daring culinary urges, Iceland is a good place to go in January or February, when the Thorrablot festival proves that there is more to the Viking diet than the Monty Python spam sketch would suggest.
The festival has its roots in Viking times and was dedicated to the god Thor, hence the name, with some highly unusual delicacies on offer, such as rotten shark meat, ox's testicles and lamb's heads, all washed down with some brennivin, known locally as Black Death.
While daring foodies can indulge in cafes and restaurants all over the island, who mark the season with the unusual dishes, they can also enjoy a wide range of leisure activities while staying in cheap hotels in the country.
Amongst these are a wide range of mountains, geothermal springs, glaciers and whale watching, while the northerly latitude offers the possibility of seeing the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) after dark.
