Iceland: A story of Fire and Ice

There is no more sagacious animal than the Icelandic horse. He is stopped by neither snow, nor storm, nor impassable roads, nor rocks, glaciers, or anything. He is courageous, sober, and surefooted. He never makes a false step, never shies. If there is a river or fjord to cross (and we shall meet with many) you will see him plunge in at once, just as if he were amphibious, and gain the opposite bank.

— Jules Verne, A Journey to the Center of the Earth

For adventure seekers, Iceland is the richest and most fulfilling subject in the world. A trip around Iceland will make you feel as sagacious as Jules verne’s description of the Icelandic horse. Snow peaked mountains, active volcanoes , untamed ocean and daunting glaciers inspire a great nordic adventure.
