Landscape and countryside


Puffin in landscape
Iceland's dramatic landscapes leave a deep impression on all visitors. Overwhelmingly volcanic and much changed by glaciers the rugged countryside is a delight to experience.

We arrange tours for geologists and geographers wishing to study the landscape in detail and also more general trips for those who simply want to understand more about the processes involved in landscape creation.

Human settlement in Iceland has also left its mark on our landscapes and the cultural and historical aspects of many of our tours are much appreciated by visitors.

Some of our most popular tours provide a blend of landscape enjoyment, cultural history and wildlife watching.
