Only A true Icelandic experience: icecaps, geysers, optional whale watching Iceland is a country like no other, with exceptional landscapes and geographical phenomena. We circumnavigate the whole country to experience the natural wonders of its incredible geology. The huge natural forces at work here need little introduction and have left the land dotted with fissures, powerful volcanoes, geysers and lava flows, old and new, that make Iceland a truly unique destination. The scenery is an enthralling mix of towering peaks, rolling grassland, black volcanic desert, huge icecaps and tumbling glaciers - all of which we explore thoroughly on our `full-circle' route. Sightseeing is generally done on foot and there are some optional walks to stretch the legs. From the waterspouts and glaciers of southern Iceland to the volcanic landscape of the north, this trip allows us to see firsthand the awesome power and beauty of Mother Nature at work in a spectacular setting. 03 Jun* 17 Jun 2999 2699 17 Jun* 01 Jul 2999 2699 2012 15 Jul 29 Jul 3099 2799 29 Jul 12 Aug 3099 2799 Datesandpricescorrectattimeofpublication (seepage11).PricesareŁSterlingperperson. · optional single supplement Ł365 · *24 hour daylight · Insurance Ł36 Husavik Akureyri Asbyrgi N.P.
