Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Icelandic landscape by visiting its lakes and waterfalls, hike its peaks and explore its historic turf houses. Participate in Reykjavik Pride and catch a game of swamp soccer. Dare yourself to go glacial river rafting, or try viking sushi in Breidafjordur Bay. Learn lessons from Djupivogur, Iceland's first designated slow city, or help out at the puffin rescue centre on the Westmann Islands.

Part of the Intrepid Country Guide series, this guidebook will help you get a greater insight and understanding of the parts of a place, to learn from locals who can help you discover the authentic, the eccentric, the rare and the astonishing. All done with an eye to sustainability, to celebrate the planet and protect its unique environments, and making ethical choices that give back to the local makers and communities.
