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.

Snaefell

SnaefellThere are three volcanoes with the name Snæfell in Iceland: The famous mountain Snæfellsjökull with its big glacier on top lies to the west of the island (1446 m). The higher of the other two volcanoes by the name Snæfell (1833 m) is situated in the north-east of Vatnajökull. It is a rather large central volcano dominating its surrounding area by about 1000 m. Not far from there, the controversial power station Kárahnjúkar has been constructed in the Highlands of Iceland. A less well-known mountain of 1383 m is to be found to the south-east of the Vatnajökull near the famous glacier lake Jökulsárlón.
