The Icelandic Highlands with Einar Rúnar Sigurðsson
I had the opportunity to travel to remote regions in Iceland with Einar Rúnar Sigurðsson one of Iceland’s top guides. I first learned about Einar by viewing some beautiful photographs published in a London newspaper featuring ice caves in southeast Iceland. Einar has climbed the highest peak in Iceland, Öræfajökull, over 300 times and was one of the first to lead ice cave tours in Iceland. The Highlands of Iceland feature an array of terrain including glaciers, lava fields and canyons as well as areas exhibiting geothermal activity. We were also fortunate to catch a couple evenings of Northern Lights activity.
