Description
Rise above South Iceland for an unforgettable aerial view of braided rivers, black-sand plains, glacier tongues and mountains unfolding beneath the aircraft.
From the air, the region’s immense scale and striking patterns come together in a perspective that simply cannot be experienced from the road. A private format adds a comfortable pace, personal attention and room to enjoy the views without rushing from one highlight to the next.
A remote landing adds time outside the aircraft when weather and surface conditions allow. The exact landing site and route can change, while clear conditions may reveal Hekla, the Westman Islands and Gígjökull, the glacier tongue dramatically altered by the 2010 eruption.
