Iceland
Delving deep into a land shaped by fire and ice, our Iceland adventures lead you through volcanic highlands, glacial lagoons, and windswept fjords.
VISIT Iceland
Sculpted by fire and ice, Iceland is a land of striking contrasts. Glaciers stretch across volcanic plains, waterfalls plunge into ancient canyons and geothermal energy rises from deep within the earth. It feels like another planet.
This Nordic island is working to balance the benefits of tourism with the need to protect its fragile ecosystems. Tools like the sustainability balance check help monitor both social and environmental impacts to ensure travellers can experience Iceland’s raw beauty in ways that actively support its preservation.
More considered ways to explore this remarkable landscape include small-scale whale-watching tours led by marine biologists, guided glacier walks prioritising safety and stewardship and bird-watching excursions along protected coasts.
Here, tourism and conservation are part of the same conversation. Iceland continues to face environmental challenges, including wildlife disturbance, wear and tear on natural sites and infrastructure strain. Through conscious travel, visitors help protect Iceland’s extraordinary landscapes while supporting the communities who call them home.
