Julia Bradbury's Icelandic Walk
TV presenter Julia Bradbury was astounded at Iceland's other-worldly landscape when she tackled the Laugavegur Trail for the BBC. Describing the scenery she encountered as 'heartstopping' and 'extraordinary', her route culminated with views towards the volcanic crater at the centre of the now infamous Eyjafjallajökull glacier.

A Blogger's Adventure
One such trek is the renowned Laugavegur Hiking Trail, a 60 km route from the rhyolite mountains of Landmannaulaugar to dramatic Thorsmork Valley. This inspiring trail was the focus of super-blogger Paul Steele's tailor-made trip as he discovered the true scale of Iceland's trekking possibilities.

Paul also explored some of the country's most iconic sights including the famed Golden Circle route as well as making time to enjoy a few of the most popular adventure options on offer - white water rafting, lava tube caving and perhaps more surprisingly, snorkelling!
