How was my trek in Iceland? An amazing diversity of dramatic landscapes… A trip to the genesis of the planet… Every possible shade of green set against dark volcanic sands, blood-red rock and shimmering glaciers… Hostile Iceland, friendly Iceland, a clear, unspoiled beauty… An incredible trek!”
A trip to the genesis of the planet. Every possible shade of green set against dark volcanic sands, blood-red rock and shimmering glaciers. Hostile Iceland, friendly Iceland, a clear, unspoiled beauty. An incredible trek!. Specially suited for nature lovers, this short exploration trek is ideal for walkers who do not have much time for longer holidays but who dream of discovering the unique mountains of Iceland by foot, without carrying a heavy backpack and who also want a real and cozy shelter each night. Presenting no difficulty for good walkers, each member carries only a light daypack. Every day involves an average of 6-8 hours hiking.
A 4x4 truck carries all personal effects, heavy equipment and supplies. And we appreciate the importance of good food, so we provide what we believe is the finest cuisine to be found in the Icelandic mountains! The isolation, for much of your time, is complete. It is just us and the mountains. Most of the hiking is off-track, exploring hidden valleys, hot springs and numerous other features of the area. The remoteness of the terrain, coupled with an ever-changin g climate can make this a most challenging environment; therefore, safety is our primary concern. Your guide and support vehicle are radio equipped. Our guides, all experienced mountaineers with extensive local knowledge, are fully trained in wilderness first aid and rescue procedures.
To complement this, our personal clothing and equipment systems must be sufficient to ensure your comfort in all kinds of weather, see our kit list for advice. But that is not to say that these mountains are devoid of life! Botanists will be captivated by the many species of Icelandic flora, from myriad mosses and grasses, to alpine herb fields, berries, shrubs and trees. Birdwatchers should keep binoculars ready as we surprise many ground nesting species, such as golden plover, ptarmigan and snow bunting. The raven watches from on high and nearer the coast, many varieties of seabirds vie for our attention.
This trek will lead us from the foot of Mount Hekla at the edge of the volcanic rift, through the rift, all the way to the ocean. Each day will bring stunning but totally different new sights that compete to outdo the beauty of those seen the day before.
Because of the recent eruption of Mount Eyjafjallajökul we maybe have to modified the last day if this trek!
