Nature

In a fast-paced world of sprawling hustle, Iceland's pure nature and empty expanses stand out as luxury. Despite its name, "ice" only covers about 10% of the land, but still represents the largest glaciers left in Europe. It is a source of pure water and the purity of Icelandic products.

Another planet

Iceland is a very young country, still in the midst of its own creation. Shaped by the forces of nature, the barren landscapes demonstrate the creativity and powers of the four basic elements - earth, air, fire, and water - in a dramatic way. Active volcanoes, bright green valleys, glacier-cut fjords, black sand

beaches, and roaring rivers are the most distinctive features of the Icelandic landscape. Although they are very accessible, they still remain virtually untouched by human civilization. In a fast-paced world of sprawling development, Iceland's pure nature and empty expanses stand out as a luxury.
