About Iceland

Iceland is a refreshingly unconventional travel destination. The Icelandic nature is unspoilt, exotic and mystical with its spouting geysers, active volcanoes, tumbling waterfalls, towering mountains, vast lava plains and magical lakes. Iceland’s fjords, glaciers and highland plains present visitors with some of the most beautiful and enchanting places they will ever see, as well as a rare feeling of utter tranquillity.

For travelers on a quest for action, Iceland’s pristine nature offers great potential for outdoor activities such as snowmobiling, horse riding, cave exploring, hiking, swimming, skiing, river rafting, kayaking and mountain safaris on modified four-wheel drives, to name but a few. Iceland supports a surprisingly diverse Nordic flora and fauna and is an ideal place for ornithology enthusiasts, while also offering some of the world’s best whale watching destinations. 

Travel with nature, accept it's own rules.

Hengill

HengillHengill is a cluster of mountains just outside Reykjavik, Iceland's capital and largest city. One of Hengill's most distinguishing features is an extensive, beautiful geothermal area with natural hot springs and colourful steam vents. A number of scenic mountain tracks weave their way through the mountains, where travellers can dip a toe or more in natural hotspots and feel fatigue drain from their bodies.

Earthquakes are frequent in the Hengill region because it's an area of lively tectonic and volcanic activity, although 2,000 years have now passed since the last eruption.
