About the trip:
Hello.
It is with great pleasure that we invite everyone willing to visit this unique country.
Iceland has become a very fashionable country among globetrotters who eagerly tick off the island on their travel list.
Visiting the most popular points, they return with the feeling of time well spent.
And it probably is to some extent; our proposal, however, is a little different, because it is focused on a cognitive and educational function.
During our stay and journey through this extraordinary island, we will get to know a number of processes that reflect the forces of nature here.
We will try to introduce you to the phenomenon of volcanism and accompanying phenomena in an easy and accessible way, in confrontation with the glaciers that shape these wonderful lands so much. It will be a kind of return to the past, which will allow us to understand Iceland today.
Because the present times are becoming geological testing periods for the northern lands.
Despite the ongoing changes, however, Iceland is a beautiful place where every lover of the world will find something for themselves.
… Such will be our trip during which we will visit places showing the diversity of the beauty of nature; numerous waterfalls, volcanic craters, geysers, glaciers, tectonic faults, tongues of frozen lava and a creeping glacier.
The period of the year chosen by us still offers a lot of daylight allowing for exploration and, on the other hand, gives a great chance to observe such phenomena as the Northern Lights, which everyone dreams of. We invite you:
