The world-famous Geysir geothermal field is highlighted on this tour, where spouting springs of various formations and appearances are seen. Nearby is Gullfoss, the queen of Icelandic waterfalls, and we are given the opportunity to stand next to it, watching as enormous quantities of water tumble violently into a deep, meandering gorge. The Geysir museum is included as a main feature of this tour, an informative multimedia exhibition that vividly shows how the forces of nature shaped the country and the people. An excellent choice for those with limited time in Iceland. Departing by coach from Reykjavík for an easy walk on the Sólheimajökull Glacier. From Mýrdalsjökull ice cap, the Sólheimajökull glacier tongue extends down to the lowlands and is an impressive ice field of solid blue ice with crusty whitish surface. With crampons on our feet we take an easy walk up on the ice field, where a wonderland of ice sculptures, ridges and deep crevasses awaits discovery. We will teach you how to use basic glacier equipment, however this tour is not recommended for children. Our destination is the Westman Islands, a natural geological hot spot. We begin our tour at the airport and learn about the 1973 volcanic eruption that devastated the community even as it improved the harbor. Buried houses are still to be seen along the edge of the lava flow, and we'll feel the heat of the earth for ourselves. After a break for lunch, we'll board a boat (optional) for a tour of this remarkable archipelago. Iceland boasts the world's largest puffin population, the delightful little bird abounds here during summer, providing exciting photo opportunities!
