 GLOBUS 2024: Iceland Adventure (ZR)
8 days from Reykjavik to Reykjavik Icelandic folklore maintains there are clans of elves and trolls living in the country's extraordinary hills, rocky outcrops, and lava fields. Will you meet these 'Huldufolk' or 'Hidden People' said to dislike churches, daylight, and electricity? Hard to say. But here's what you will see on this breathtaking tour of Iceland-active volcanoes, roaring waterfalls, jagged glaciers, floating icebergs, black-sand beaches, and brilliant-blue geothermal springs. Unique, local experiences await in the 'Land of Fire and Ice,' including tasting piping hot bread baked by the heat from the hot springs, sipping Geysir schnapps served at freezing point, and standing in awe before the spectacular Lake Jokulsarlon, home to Europe's largest glacier and the site of some of the most dramatic scenes from the James Bond movie Die Another Day. The gargantuan sights in the land of the elves will surely leave you stirred, not shaken.
