Known as the ‘Land of Fire and Ice’, Iceland is a weird and wonderful destination for adventure travel. The country’s finest trek, from the hot springs at Landmannalaugar to Porsmork, provides the basis of our unbeatable school group itinerary. Crossing the volcanic wilderness of the Fjallabak, by way of well-equipped campsites and with discreet vehicle support, this is 5 days of wonderfully diverse trekking in one of the most spectacular areas in the whole of Europe. Highlights include Mount Hekla, the Myrdalsjokull Icecap, beautiful Lake Alftavatn and the challenging final day of trekking over Fimmvorduhals Pass.Educational perspective
