Countries Visited: Iceland
- Try snowshoeing and glacier exploration
- Chance to see the Northern Lights
- Spectacular natural phenomena
We split our time in Iceland between the rugged south coast and the lively capital Reykjavik. Our first base at Drangshlid looks south across the coastal plains to the sea. Behind us lies the massive Myrdalsjokul ice-cap, from whose heights tumble the Solheimjokul glacier and the famous Skogafoss waterfall. We spend a full day exploring the glacier just a few miles from our guest house and another day snowshoeing in the hills behind the waterfall, offering inspirational views of the ice cap and ocean. Moving back west, we take in the 'must-see' sights of Gullfoss waterfall, the geothermal waterspouts at Geysir, and historic Thingvellir with its lake and volcanic rift scenery. Then from our Reykjavik base we take day trips for further snowshoe exploration to Mount Hengil and the Glymur waterfall
