Iceland Travel Guide: Volcanic wonderland & 4x4 adventures

So much more than the awesome spectacle of the Northern Lights, Iceland is a fantastic summer destination.

Scarred by a very thin crust, Iceland is a landscape dotted with geological weirdness. Rivers of boiling grey mud cut through golden tree-less valleys, sulphur vents sprout steam like a giant atmospheric smoke machine and colourful mountain ranges brighten up gloomy arctic days.

For the more adventurous, Iceland’s inhospitable highland interior provides the challenge of truly getting off the beaten track. Bouncing along very unkempt “roads,” crossing rivers and navigating slippery sand is all part of the journey-over-destination ethos.
