The Hornstrandir Nature Reserve is a place of magnificent untouched beauty and wildlife. The sheer basalt mountains stretch from the sea to the sky, chaotically divided by deep fjords, secluded alcoves and valleys. At the coastline, the relentless power of the ocean has molded towering sea cliffs, richly populated by birds. Many of the alcoves and scurries of the coast are home to an abundance of seals. Inland, the crawling glaciers of the last ice age have hewn ancient mountain passes and lakes into the rugged peninsula and there, the Arctic Fox wanders in its natural environment.

On this 4-day Quick Escape, we will experience unmarked paths, cross rivers, and camp in complete solitude. This expedition is perfect for those ready to push further, explore deeper, and embrace the desolate beauty that defines this land.. This trip is run in cooperation with our local Icelandic partner, Borea.
