Fire + Ice Iceland Trek

On August 7-11, our team ventured to Iceland. This group took on Iceland's otherworldly, challenging landscape. These two-and-a-half days of challenging and spectacular hiking included an assortment of geological marvels, including volcanoes, glaciers, geysers, hot springs, gorges, lava beds, waterfalls and, of course, mountains. Geothermal activity in the form of steam and green and yellow sulfur coming from the rocks we passed, coupled with the topography, made this mountainous hike otherworldly. After 7-8 hours of rigorous hiking, the team slept in mountain huts situated in an incredible setting. This hike is sometimes called "Fire and Ice" because on any given day you hike up lava fields and volcanoes, and then alongside stunning glaciers.
