Iceland
Iceland
Riding Fire & Ice
This North Atlantic island is located exactly on the Atlantic ridge which separates Europe and North America. It is sparsely populated and famous for its hot springs, geysers, waterfalls, active volcanoes and huge Glaciers, including the largest one in Europe.
This “around the island” tour will give us a fantastic taste of all of this – from the Lava beaches in the south to the whales and fishery industry in the north. From the Fjords in the east to the Capital Reykjavik in the west. From climbing glaciers to standing on the continental divide… this tour and this Island is like nothing you’ve seen before!
