Icelandic Lava Trek

This trip will take you through some of Europe's greatest wildnerness area, allowing you to see active volcanoes, sheer cliffs, glaciers, thundering waterfalls, steaming lava fields, plunging fjords, boiling mud pools and spouting geysers.

The challenge is to walk the Landmannalaugar route across the Southern Highlands through one of the most actively volcanic areas in Iceland. Most striking of all is the sheer vastness of space with far reaching visibility, crystal clear northern air and the geological diversity of the multi-coloured volcanic rocks.

Although this is a short European trek, don't be fooled into thinking it is not challenging. The days are long, the terrain is difficult, and you will be expected to help set up camp in the evenings. While the trek is not technically difficult, you will have to be prepared for some steep climbs and descents on rough ground, as well as walking across snowfields.

Before returning home, you will have the chance to visit the Blue Lagoon and take a deserved relaxing dip.

Trip highlights:

• See one of the Earth's most volcanic regions
• Visit Iceland's premier trekking location
• Trek through vast lava fields
• See countless streams and hot springs
