Far out in the North Atlantic Ocean, Iceland is a large island, approximately 300 kilometres north to south and 500 kilometres east to west. Featuring a deeply indented coastline, extensive ice-caps, active volcanoes and a language that has changed little in the 1000 years since the arrival of the first Norse settlers, Iceland is a magical adventure travel destination. The almost uninhabited south-central region of the Fjallabak is the focus of attention for trekking, climbing, family and mountain biking groups. Here, beneath the steaming summit of Mount Hekla, there are geysers, hot springs, towering waterfalls and some of the wildest terrain in Europe. Only in coastal regions has Iceland's volcanic landscape been softened by the activities of man. Here, in isolated pockets of settlement, there are pretty harbours, quaint houses and flower-filled pastures. Highlights include; whale-watching, climbing Hvannadalshnukur (2119m / 6952ft), Iceland's highest peak, visiting a puffin colony, travelling to glacier lagoon (scene of 2 James Bond films) and trying out Reykjavik's geo-thermally heated Blue Lagoon swimming pool.
