14 Day Iceland 2014 – Unrivaled Beauty
If you like the waterfalls and volcanoes of the tropics, the glaciers of Alaska, the highlands of Scotland, the black beaches of Maui, the geothermal activity of Yellowstone, Puffins and breathtaking vistas beyond your expectations; Iceland is all of this and more!
The Land of Fire and Ice
Magical, mysterious, awe-inspiring.
Magical, mysterious, awe-inspiring. Many places on earth claim to be lands of “fire and ice.” Perhaps only Iceland is both at the same time, and today! Part of the mid-Atlantic spreading seafloor ridge, only this portion rises above sea level to create this island nation. Active volcanic flows build new land each day, right in the midst of glaciers. Here lives the largest volcanic canyon in the world, offering splendid display of nature’s phenomenal power. With scenic beauty beyond belief and 24 hours of daylight during summer months, this is an ideal and rare gem for a photo safari which has exceeded all of my guest’s expectations as noted in their tour evaluations.
With the help of photographer and local Icelandic guide, Haukur Snorrason; the delightful hospitality and home cooking of his wife Hadda, and the charming accommodations of our Icelandic guesthouses along the way, you will see more of Iceland’s “secret places” that even you can believe. Despite “a touch of rain,” which seems to be a part of this extraordinary destination we will explore and photograph jaw-dropping waterfalls and remote glacial landscapes, lush highlands, moss blanketed lava fields, geysir and geothermal areas, calving glaciers, icebergs on black sand beaches, puffins, razorbills, fulmars and the famed Icelandic horses. Despite the fact that it lies just below the Arctic Circle, Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream, so enjoys a temperate climate.
In addition to its current riches, Iceland boasts a powerful human history as well, with early Vikings having created ancient seafaring history under the same midnight sun that gently warms us today. Signs of their earlier world are everywhere, a constant reminder of the ways in which human and natural history have become inextricably intertwined. And with place names such as Skaftafell, Jokulsarlon, Landmannalaugar, Hrafntinnusker, Kerlingafjoll, Vatnajökull, and even Reykjavík, all of which defy pronunciation, this is indeed a land that evokes mystery and wonder.
If you're passionate about photography, whether novice or advanced, and want to experience the ineffable wonders of Iceland, this is the trip for you. If you are traveling with a companion who is not a photographer, perhaps they'd like to capture yet another unique view of nature's experience using a video camera.
