This is it folks! Iceland's most arduous yet rewarding winter adventure. Where we're going we don't need cars. We need modified, ice-grinding, snow-tracking, heavy-duty monster jeeps! And when we get there we're going to need a whole lot more.

 

Where is 'there' you ask? We are going to the southern regions of Iceland to Landmannalaugar. Where together we shall climb the crystal ice-glaciers of Sólheimajökull. Where enchanting waterfalls of Skógar and Seljalandsfoss will allow us to reflect in the 'Pearls of the Highlands', and where following our  on-foot challenging journey, awaits a luxuriating long dip in the Geothermal Pools.

 

If fate and the weather permits, we will be granted an evening of natural wonder in the symphony of lights, the Aurora Borealis. Because Landmannalaugar is so far away from the lights of the city, the clarity of the night sky is astounding.This is a tour that will stay with you. After this journey, you will be impressed by more than the beauty of Iceland, you will be impressed with yourself. Like many people since, who dared to take on such an active expedition, you’ll surprised youself.

 

Motivation is a great tool and doing these adventure tours is an excellent way to build team spirit and camaraderie. It is therefore a good idea to bring a number of friends along so you can push each other together. Included in this tour are stops at the Golden Circle the first day and a visit to part of the South coast including a nice hike on crampons. We will even try to ice climbing the ice walls at Sólheimajökull glacier on the day two.

 

We will also stop at the powerful Skógar waterfall and walk behind the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. There will be great opportunity to talk around a bit afterwards, as we stop at Eyrarbakki in route to Reykjavik, where we will have the fortune to feast upon North Atlantic lobster at a seaside restaurant.
