SUMMARY:West\, North & South Iceland 2018
DESCRIPTION:There's a strong connection between Orkney and Iceland\, and we
 've been going to Iceland for nearly 10 years to explore this connection. 
 The Orkneyinga Saga was even written in Iceland! Apart from the obvious Vi
 king links (place names are remarkably similar between Iceland and Orkney)
  and Europe's oldest Parliament at þingvellir\, there is a strong natural
  history connection - our wintering birds of Orkney fly northwest to Icela
 nd to breed. Birds such as great-northern diver\; Slavonian grebe\; greyla
 g and pink-footed geese\; and purple sandpipers to name but a few fall int
 o this category. Our orcas (killer whales) even share their lives with Ice
 landic waters as they hunt a massive stretch of ocean between Orkney and I
 celand. This trip visits Snæfellsnes in the West\; Akureyri\, Hrísey an
 d Mývatn in the North\; and þingvellir\, Geysir\, Gullfoss and Dyrhólae
 y in the South. Specialist birds that we hope to see include Barrow's gold
 eneye\; harlequin duck\; red-necked phalarope\; Brunnich's guillemot\; whi
 te-tailed eagle\; merlin and gyr falcon. Added to this is the backdrop of 
 the stunning volcanic and geo-thermal scenery of Iceland\, with geysers\, 
 waterfalls and glaciers as standard. Two whale-watching trips are included
  (one land-based) as we seek close-ups of orcas\, minke\, humpback and spe
 rm whales. Our Iceland trips are amongst the finest that we do\, and Steve
 's favourite location! Cost £2\,195 excluding flight. THIS TOUR IS NOW FU
 LL. Please click here for 2019 enquiries to Iceland.
