Iceland Highlands

Escape the mundane to the astonishing highlands of Iceland, a remote paradise that promises serenity and unequalled adventure. For the daring at heart, immerse yourself in barren magnificence as you visit the country’s highest mountain peaks, verdant canyons, steaming vents, bubbling hot springs, freezing waterways seething volcanoes. Experience the thrill of driving across a glacier on your snowmobile, surveying active volcanoes and walking over geothermal areas as mist rises around you. Larger than many countries, this 40 000 square kilometer wilderness offers much more than a typical natural landscape. Take your pick from splendid icons like Landmannalaugar, a spellbinding geothermal oasis popular for hiking and natural hot spring bathing. Glistening Vatnajökull is the country’s largest ice cap, and Thórsmörk Valley enchants with its verdant valleys, steep slopes and looming mountains cut through by the cold Krossá river rushing from the glaciers – one the most jaw-dropping vistas in Iceland.
