Travelling around Iceland is an otherworldly experience. You will spend your journey surrounded by surreal natural beauty, most of which has remained untouched by humans for hundreds of years. This small island was formed from millions of years of volcanic activity. It lies on the divergent boundary between the North American plate and the Eurasian plate, as well as sitting above a hotspot known as the 'Icelandic plume'. Its unique position means that it is a hotbed (excuse the pun) for volcanic activity, as well as earthquakes. This volcanic activity helped form Iceland's unique landscape, whilst also providing the country with and abundance of geothermal energy.

​

It comes as no surprise to hear of Icelandic folklore telling of huldufólk (hidden people) AKA elves, trolls and even fairies roaming the land. The landscape found on this spit of land in the North Atlantic truly is magical (there's a reason why so many episodes of the Game of Thrones series was filmed here). Whether you are hiking a volcano, soaking in a hot spring, chasing waterfalls, exploring ice caves, or simply driving around, Iceland will never fail to amaze you.
