Highlights

Itinerary

In winter, Iceland is elemental. Walk the fractured rift between two tectonic plates at Þingvellir, feel the ground hum above ancient lava tubes, and experience an island that has learned to live with fire. Alongside dedicated volcanologists and local pioneers, explore the Golden Circle's geothermal fury — then step out into the Arctic night and wait for the aurora borealis to find you.

day 1Reykjavik/Selfoss

Welcome to Iceland. Your expedition begins as you touch down on this volcanic island, greeted by crisp Arctic air. You will be met and transferred to Reykjavík, for an introductory gathering with your fellow travellers, National Geographic Expedition Leader and National Geographic Expedition Expert. From here, venture into the landscapes of Þingvellir National Park to walk between the towering tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia. Next, visit an innovative geothermal greenhouse farm. Learn about zero-waste, earth-powered agriculture before sitting down to a fresh farm-to-table lunch. Settle into your countryside lodging this afternoon. This evening, enjoy a welcome dinner highlighting sustainable local flavours.
