• Visit Detifoss waterfall, considered to be one of the most powerful waterfalls in the world.
• Slip into the therapeutic and mineral laden waters of a thermal hot spring, found all over Iceland, with an average temperature of 75° Celsius (we only swim in the cooler ones).
• Feel the spray from Strokkur geyser, one of the most famous and predictable geysers in Iceland, which reaches a height of 18 metres and erupts every 5 to 10 minutes.
• Move beyond antiquated notions of Viking menus with pickled everything to sample the new Icelandic cuisine--from smoked lamb and rosemary to grilled lobster with apple chutney.
• Go whitewater rafting on the West Glacial River in north Iceland.
• Watch for puffins, kittiwakes, cormorants, fulmars, and white-tailed eagles from the our expedition ship as we cruise around icebergs in the Glacial Lagoon at Skaftafell.
• Adventure across the Arctic Circle, driving up along the Tjornes and Langanese Peninsulas through desolate landscapes and deserted villages.
• Gaze and smile at the many natural wonders to be found in Husavik's unique Phallalogical Museum.
• Enjoy the steaming landscape of hot springs, solfataras, mud pots, and small shield volcanoes on Reykjanes Peninsula, where a massive rift in the earth's surface marks the meeting place of two continents, Europe and America.
• View Hallgrimskirkja Church in Iceland's capital of Reykjavik with its landmark steeple and statue of Leif Eriksson, the first European to set foot on the North American continent about 500 years before Columbus.
• Kick up your heals with the people of Reykjavik on Iceland's Independance Day. Few people throw a party like the Icelanders and this will be your ideal send-off, joining the festivities well into the hours of the midnight sun.
