Wildlife & Nature
Venture into the winter landscapes of the Mývatn Nature Reserve on a guided snowshoeing experience through North Iceland's snow-covered wilderness. Using snowshoes to travel across the frozen terrain, you'll leave the more frequently travelled routes behind and explore quieter corners of the reserve with a local guide.
As you walk, discover volcanic formations, frozen scenery and pristine Arctic nature, gaining a different perspective on this remarkable region in winter. The peaceful surroundings offer an opportunity to immerse yourself in Mývatn's dramatic landscapes while experiencing a lesser-seen side of North Iceland.
The exact route and locations will depend on the weather and snow conditions.
