Iceland A Photographic and Cultural Journey Thursday June 28 through Tuesday, July 10, 2012 (Offered in conjunction with Strabo Tours)
Before we had even left Iceland on our previous photo tours there we knew we wanted to return. The photographic opportunities are truly amazing. We have even added a day to our first trip to allow more time in the fascinating interior region. We have chosen this time of year to take advantage of the long hours of daylight, nesting birds and access to the interior. This tour exposes the adventurous traveler to the rugged glacial and volcanic interior and to the puffin, and kittiwake regions at the most western point of Iceland, Latrabjarg. The traditional theme and image of Iceland has been ice and fire, but it is much more than that. Mother nature has painted a magnificent tapestry of colors with geological phenomena unmatched elsewhere in the world. Inexorably intertwined with this exotic natural environment are the 280,000 Icelanders, who along with their Nordic and Celtic ancestors, have called this North Atlantic Island their home for over 1100 years. While living mostly along the coast, over one-third of the residents live within a 20-kilometer radius of Reykjavik, the capital city.
Experience the vast volcanic landscape, breathtaking glaciers, and hardy Viking hospitality that have been celebrated for centuries in Icelandic sagas. On this unique expedition, view towering volcanic pillars, hike to stunning waterfalls, and photograph interesting architecture, hearty Icelandic ponies and puffins along the cliff tops. From the capital city to remote farms on the tips of exposed fjords, Iceland is picturesque, including some features of the moon surface. Volcanoes, hot springs, and glaciers influence the look and feel of the country. At every turn, the vistas will astound you. Join us on this exploratory adventure of one of our planet’s most fascinating and unique environments.
The focus of our trip is photography, but this is much more than a photographic tour. The trip's leisurely pace and knowledgeable local driver/guide will provide ample opportunity for you to soak up the history and culture.
