Iceland a small but fiery island where myth and magic meets modern life in spectacular style.  By Matt Sanders

Only fully independent from Denmark since 1944, the proud republic has a
strong national identity which is reflected in its rich and poetic history.  Regular
volcanic eruptions have hewn dramatic landscapes across Iceland’s islands, and
the natural scenery is unparalleled around the world. 

Although the coastal edges of Iceland have been claimed for towns and
villages, the centre remains uninhabitable, and its spectacular alien vistas
remain a strong draw for artists and tourists alike.  The influence of the
island’s underlying molten magma is never far from sight, with hot springs,
geysers and boiling mud pools all to be explored.  The volcanic heat is directly
contrasted by Iceland’s snowy climate, though northerly temperatures are
tempered by warm air from the Atlantic’s Gulf Stream, meaning that it is never
uncomfortably cold. 

Last month we booked one of our clients on a
bespoke 5 night adventure to investigate this amazing destination, and enjoy
some of the fascinating excursions on offer. 

Staying at Hótel Ísland, which is centrally located next
to the city’s financial district, and Laugardalur valley, a major centre for
sports and recreation in the capital.  Hótel Ísland offers refreshing
accommodation just two kilometres from the city centre.  The hotel
features 129 rooms with many offering views of the mountain range that
surrounds Reykjavik. 

Hotel Island is Iceland’s first dedicated wellness and
medical hotel, where guests can access a team of doctors, nurses and healthcare
specialists who offer world class treatments and solutions whilst promoting
health and relaxation during the stay. 

Optional excursions all arranged by Scott’s Travel

1)Take a relaxing break inIceland and
dip in the warm and healthy waters of theBlue Lagoon!  Include hotel transfers

2)Join amysterious tour, looking for the Aurora Borealis, on a dark
winter night in Iceland.  Far from the glow of the city, we hunt for the elusiveNorthern Lights. 

3)The Golden
Circle tour allows you to visit some of Iceland’s most stunning sights,
starting with the Geysir geothermal area where the Strokkur geyser shoots a
column of water up to 30 metres (98 ft.)  into the air every 4-8 minutes in a
thrilling display of nature’s forces.  The visit continues with Gullfoss (Golden
Falls) waterfall, created by the river Hvítá, which tumbles and plunges into a
crevice some 32 m (105 ft.)  deep. The
Golden Circle tour also includes the historical and geological wonder that is
Thingvellir National Park, where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates are
pulling apart at a rate of a few centimetres per year. Additionally, the tour includes a visit to the idyllic
Friðheimar greenhouse cultivation centre, where you can learn about the magic
behind growing delicious, pesticide-free tomatoes and cucumbers with the aid of
the geothermal heat that Iceland has in abundance. 

All of the above was achievable for a little as £960.50
for two people travelling this December.  If you are considering a trip and would
