The horses of Iceland are the original Viking horses and one of the purest horse breeds in the world.

Iceland is often referred to as a birdwatcher's paradise, as large colonies of seabirds and waterfowl are indigenous and easily visible around the coasts.

Is Iceland a safe country? Actually, it is hard to feel any safer than here: Iceland is a country with one of the world’s lowest crime rates, ranking consecutively in 1st place on the Global Peace Index, and home to no animal predators dangerous to man. So, it doesn’t seem very dangerous, but the challenges lie elsewhere.

From early September to mid-October, the ‘most Icelandic event ever’ takes place all over the country: réttir sheep round-up. Sheep, and sometime free-roaming horses, are gathered home for the winter.

Water and snow, sticks and stones, beaches and baths – Iceland is one big playground for the little people.
