Immersive in Iceland – (9D/8N)beyonders2024-01-10T08:16:11+00:00Immersive Iceland
The land of Ice situated way up North, close to the Arctic Circle, is probably not all ice. The locals here say that the names of Iceland and Greenland should have been reversed
given the topography of the land!
Head out to Iceland for nature in its many and varied avatars – volcanoes, glaciers, waterfalls, lava fields, hot springs, mineral-rich waters, the Icelandic horse… in short, nature in all its magnificence… And fascinating history and culture as a topping…
It is not called the land of Fire and Ice for nothing – it’s a land where contrasts co-exist harmoniously… Volcanoes and glaciers, mountains and waterfalls, lava beaches and the sea, sublime nature and a bloody history, snowy whiteness of land that seem to stretch on and on colored in various hues at night by the Aurora Borealis dancing away in the sky.
This is a land of legends with a story created by ancient man in order to make sense of what must have seemed like nature at its freakish best…
Above all else, the Northern Lights or the Aurora Borealis is almost a standard fixture in the Northern skies during winter…
Come with us to Iceland to experience nature as you may never have thought of it – harsh, unforgiving yet sublimely beautiful. Come with us to witness the splendour of the Northern Lights in winter or maybe the Midnight Sun in summer.. Come Beyonder…
