Non-defining relative clauses use "which" to add extra information about a thing, so "which" is the natural choice here.

1. Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Relative pronouns link a noun to a clause that gives more information. For things/objects (including places) in non-defining (extra information) clauses we normally use "which."  
- "Where" can introduce a relative clause about a place, but "where" replaces a preposition + place or is used in defining contexts; punctuation and formality affect choice.  
- "That" cannot be used in non-defining clauses (those set off by commas). "Who/whom" refer to people. "When" refers to times.

2. Step-by-step reasoning
- The main clause is: "Next semester break, I'm going to Iceland," followed by a comma and an extra clause giving more information about Iceland. The comma signals a non-defining relative clause.  
- For a non-defining clause referring to a thing (Iceland = a place/thing), the correct relative pronoun is "which." So the clause becomes "which I've never been before." (More fully: "which I have never been to before.")

3. Intermediate wording consideration
- A fully grammatical form would often include the preposition: "which I have never been to before" or use "where": "where I have never been before." Both are understandable, but the non-defining clause after a comma expects "which" rather than "that."

4. Why the correct answer is correct
- "Which" correctly introduces a non-defining relative clause about a thing (Iceland) and fits the comma-separated structure. "That" is not allowed in non-defining clauses; "who/whom" are for people; "when" is for times.

5. Why other options are incorrect (brief)
- That: not used in non-defining clauses.  
- Who/whom: refer to people, not places.  
- When: refers to time, not place.  
- Where: possible alternative ("where I’ve never been before") but not the answer given; the expected relative pronoun according to the provided answer is "which."

6. Conclusion
Therefore the correct word to fill the blank is "which," matching the provided answer.
