Iceland
by SmartrippersEverything you need to know to prepare your trip to Iceland
Iceland is probably the most spectacular island in the world! Shaped by volcanoes and sculpted by glaciers, the most beautiful landscapes in the world await you in Iceland! This island of striking contrasts bewitches all those who set foot on it. Immense glaciers, imposing volcanoes, impressive waterfalls and majestic fjords follow one another in completely surreal landscapes, without forgetting the spectacle of the northern lights during the dark nights and the hot baths which will await you after your crazy days!
We had the chance to spend more than 100 days there during 3 different trips: a first time to only touch it during 3 weeks at the wheel of a big 4WD, a second time in winter to rediscover it under the snow. The third time we went back with our family with our vehicle, a 4WD pickup truck specially prepared for the off-road, and equipped with a comfortable camper to criss-cross the country for 3 months. This adventure was one of the craziest we have ever done!
