Landmark 90th Anniversary Travel Tours Iceland - Land of Fire & Ice

Experience historic landscapes, villages, and cities on this fascinating island where the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans meet. We will have the unique opportunity to be traveling during this Landmark Anniversary Year travel tour, in the season when one has a chance to view the magical, awe-inspiring, Northern Lights.

Often described as “otherworldly,” Iceland is known for its dramatic volcanic terrains, glaciers, geothermal hot springs, waterfalls, and wildlife. It is a unique destination that offers pristine natural wonders, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant culture, all deeply rooted in ancient heritage.  We will relax in the soothing waters of the Blue Lagoon, discover black sand beaches and the rugged coastline, and explore the cosmopolitan city of Reykjavik with its old town center and iconic Hallgrimskirkja church.

Join Landmark Travels in discovering this amazing land of fire and ice. And doesn’t everyone need an Icelandic sweater?!
