The trip also ventures east as far as the Jokulsarlon Glacier lagoon and the Skaftafell National Park, close to the huge Vatnajökull ice cap, on the journey taking in the Solheimajökull glacier, the huge Laki lava field and the dramatic Skogarfoss waterfall. There is also a ferry trip to Heimaey in the Westmann islands to see the volcano and lava flows created by the 1973 eruption there, and an excursion to the classic “Golden Circle” sites at Ϸingvellir, Gullfoss and Geysir.
