Both are Nordic landscape destinations with Northern Lights potential. Iceland packs extraordinary geography into a small island — you can see geysers, glaciers, waterfalls and black-sand beaches in 5 nights. Norway is vastly larger, offering deeper fjord experiences, coastal cruising and longer journeys.
Iceland wins for compact diversity (geothermal, glaciers, waterfalls in one trip), short 5–7 night trips and Northern Lights accessibility. Norway wins for fjords, scale and longer 10–14 night expeditions.

Both are excellent. Iceland's Reykjavík is more accessible; Norway's Tromsø has slightly higher reliability statistically.
