ICELAND: THE REMOTE WESTFJORDS Lose yourself in the unspoiled wilderness of western Iceland. 64 RYDERWALKER.COM  |  888.586.8365 EUROPE I celand's cinematic beauty is simply overwhelming with its immense glaciers and endless fjords, unspoiled wilderness areas waiting to be explored, clean icy seas where whales surface, volcanic cliffs with one of the biggest bird colonies in the northern hemisphere, geysers, active volcanoes and ancient fishing villages – Iceland’s cinematic beauty is simply overwhelming. Beginning in Iceland’s progressive capital Reykjavik, our trip leaders will whisk you away to Hellnar, a beautiful old fishing village on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula that is known for its lush fjords, crackling sulphur lava fields, wild sand-strewn beaches and haunting volcanic peaks. Expect to hike beneath the ice-capped Snæfellsjökull, a glacier that was immortalized in Jules Verne’s tale Journey to the Center of the Earth. Cross Breidafjörður by ferry and fill up your memory cards while hiking along Látrabjarg, a 14 km long, volcanic cliff, one of Iceland’s natural wonders and home to thousands of sea birds and puffins. Our adventure of Iceland would not be complete without exploring the now deserted Hornstrandir peninsula, synonym for stunning subarctic hiking. As one of Europe’s last true wilderness areas, it provides the perfect destination for spotting arctic foxes, seals, whales and teeming bird life.
