The Icelandic Highlands cover the majority of the country and many of Iceland’s impressive natural attractions can be found here. Away from crowds, noise and bustle, the Highlands offer silence, serenity, peace and extreme natural beauty.

The terrain is as rugged as it is breathtaking. The Highlands can be crossed only during the Icelandic summer. For the rest of the year the highland roads are closed. The best known highland roads are Kaldidalur, Kjölur and Sprengisandur. Most of these roads require four-wheel drive vehicles, because it is necessary to cross rivers.

Amazing colors of the rhyolite calderas. Vivid greens of the lush grasses.

Since it’s a geologic hotspot, the area is surrounded by active volcanoes and natural geothermal pools of blues and turquoise.
