GREAT HOLIDAY
DESTINATION THIS
SEASON!
Christmas is a great time of
year to venture north to
discover your inner child
amongst natural wonders. One
of the most exciting winter
trips is to Iceland where you
have a great chance of
glimpsing the Northern Lights.
There is a lot more to see in
Iceland, including glaciers, hot
springs and geysers, volcanic
craters, lava flows and
waterfalls. Plus the
capital Reykyavik is charming.
shaped by volcanoes, glaciers
and tectonic plates slowly
being pulled apart, Iceland
holidays are an opportunity to
see Mother Nature at her most
incredible. This is a landscape
like no other. In winter you’ll
find thundering waterfalls snap
frozen, endless snow drifts to
be skidooed across and the
northern lights dancing across
the night sky.
But holidays here don’t have to
be hard work. You can sip
local schnapps while sat in the
bubbling waters of a
geothermal pool as the wind
whips snow from the tips of
volcanic carters around you.
During summer slip between
the sheets of the earth as you
snorkel in the Silfa fissure,
watch whales splash through
the waves in the northern
fjords, or drop into the
Thrihnukagigur Volcano under
the glow of the midnight sun.
Holidays in Iceland are as
dramatic as they are different
