Iceland

1

Kerid Crater: This 3,000-year-old volcanic

crater lake features on some of the Golden

Circle tours but is well worth a separate trip.

Walk above the vivid red slopes surrounding

the aquamarine water.

2

Sólheimasandur airplane wreckage:

In 1973 a United States Navy DC plane

crashed on the black beach after running

out fuel. Fortunately nobody died and ever

since it has been one of the most photographed

locations in Iceland.

3

Reynisfjara: This world famous black-sand

beach has a dramatic and moody feel, the

powerful waves crashing against the dark

sands. You’ll also have a view out to the two

impressive basalt pillars.

4

Sólheimajökull Glacier: More than 10 per

cent of Iceland is covered in glaciers. This is

possibly the most visited, about two hours

from Reykjavik. Arcanum Tours offer two-

hour hikes and unforgettable experiences.

5

Flúðasveppir (Mushroom Farm): The only

mushroom farm in Iceland and home to

possibly the best mushroom soup in the

country – as well as mushroom ice-cream!

Groups can book a tour of the mushroom farm and a

dinner outside normal opening hours.

• Top to bottom: Reynisfjara beach, the Kerid Crater and a
  group glacier walk with Arcanum.
