ICE CAP TREK: OPEN CHALLENGE |
|
|
|
INTRODUCTION
Iceland is a land of incredible contrast and beauty. Its wild volcanic landscapes, mountains, glaciers, hot springs, geysers and waterfalls, combined with its rich history, literature and folklore make it a fascinating country to explore.
Our challenge takes us from the active Mt Hekla to Landmannalaugar and then south through the mountains to the permanent icecaps of Myrdals and Eyjafjallajokull. This is a challenging trek through a remote and potentially hostile environment.
ALL OUR OPEN CHALLENGES ARE ADVENTUROUS AND CHALLENGING BUT ACHIEVABLE BY MOST PEOPLE PROVIDED THEY TRAIN WELL IN ADVANCE!
