Trekking in Iceland
Iceland remains one of the world's most enigmatic countries. There are volcanoes, lava fields, ice caps, geothermal activity and great waterfalls but there is also a familiar landscape of coastal mountains, farms, pasture, and, in summer, a proliferation of birds and flowers. The interior of Iceland however, with its lava and sand deserts, glaciers, ice-caps, and old volcanoes could be part of another planet.
High Places in Iceland
High Places has been working in Iceland now for seventeen years, operating from a summer base in Seyðisfjorður, a picturesque fishing village deep in the eastern fjords.
Walking
Our trips are varied and active. If you have good mountain gear, strong boots, a sense of adventure and a wish to get away from the crowds, then you will thrive on the richness of our itineraries. We walk 5-7 hours most days.
Summer in Iceland
Iceland does almost nudge the Arctic Circle and temperatures can range from 4-24°C. Shorts when it is sunny, but thermal wear and good all-weather gear are necessary too.
