Welcome the land of fire and ice. Iceland is a country of outstanding natural beauty with steep rocks, crevasses, boiling hot springs, glaciers, and ocean beaches. With a tiny population of just under 390,000 people, Iceland is a haven for relaxation, rejuventation & adventure.

The Þingvellir area is praised as the national shrine of Iceland due to its great historical and geological significance. Iceland’s first national park was established there in 1928, and the Þingvellir area has now been recognized for its outstanding universal value and listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.
ReykjavÃk is the natural starting point for any visit to Iceland, and not undeservedly so. The capital is world-renowned for its culture, history, and natural beauty on all fronts.
Snæfellsjökull is one of Iceland's 32 active volcanic systems and last erupted about 1,800 years ago. On the top of Snæfellsjökull is a small icecap. Throughout history, the beauty of Snæfellsjökull has affected people spiritually, and it has been an inspiration for novelists, painters, and other artists. The best-known artwork is Jule Verne's sci-fi novel, The Journey to the Center of the Earth, which he wrote under the volcano's influence.
The mighty Langjökull (the Long Glacier) is the second largest glacier in Iceland. It's 50 km long and 20 km wide, with ice 580 m deep at it's thickest. At it's highest point the Langjökull reaches an alititude of 1,450 meters. It's located in the Highlands, and two main highland tracks, connecting the north and the south of Iceland, lie alongside it. Near the highest peaks of Langjökull exists a man-made ice tunnel, a true spectacle for any visitor passing by the glacier.
