Let me paint you a picture for a moment (nothing whimsical, I promise). Imagine you are parked somewhere deep in the Icelandic countryside. You have just cooked a pot of pasta in your campervan kitchen (Italians look away). The wind taps on the side of the camper like an impatient friend. You step outside into […]

Can you imagine waking up to a glacial tongue with a mighty yawn replicative that of the seal now staring at you oddly from across the way on a thawing block of ice? (not that that’s happened to me) Not in the “I left the fridge open” kind of way, but raw, unfiltered towering ice, […]

This is where lava fields meet ice caps, and where every trail comes with a free dose of ‘wow’ (you can tip with a smile, of course).  From jaw-dropping volcano treks to glacier strolls […]
