A recent article in the New York Times about which places people should visit made a point of visiting Iceland before the nature is ruined forever. This echoes a number of articles Total Iceland has published for a while.
The NYT article suggests people should go to Iceland soon since there are a number of grand projects about to further dam the remaining big rivers in Iceland. Plans to build a vast network of power lines across the Northeastern wilderness of the country with the relevant roads and infrastructure will change forever that largest untouched area of Iceland. As often is the case here the government does not see the bigger picture but only short-term growth potential.
But that article does not even mention the biggest threat. The sheer number of tourists here are trampling a number of natural hot spots to smithereens and in some cases the damage is irreversible. Since no one wants to pay for necessary work this will continue for years to come.
Thus, yes, you should come as soon as possible before serious damage is done to most natural pearls of Iceland. In which case they won´t make much of an attraction.
