What's this trip about?

    The summer sun never sets on this breathtakingly lush land of verdant hills, active volcanoes, fumaroles and mud-pots. Experience Iceland’s surreal beauty. From Þingvellir National Park to nearby world-famous Gold Falls, you’ll journey to Vík, whose huge black sea columns are said to be trolls turned to stone. Beneath the sea cliffs of Skógar, you’ll tour Iceland’s finest folk museum before exploring the glaciers, lava fields and black-sand desert at Skaftafell National Park. Boat through Jökulsárlón Lagoon’s massive blue-tinted ice forms and take a “midnight sun” kayak tour acclaimed as one of Iceland’s top-ten “musts.” You’ll see Europe’s largest migratory-bird sanctuary at Lake Mývatn, a peaceful oasis surrounded by steaming earth, and visit Dettifoss, Europe’s most powerful waterfall, witnessing firsthand Iceland’s ongoing birth. Even the cuisine will surprise you, whether it’s butter-grilled langoustine tails or Icelandic delicacies like arctic char, trout, free-range lamb and reindeer. It’s as if this land was created for the photographer, to embrace and capture it’s never ending beauty.
