This is at the moment an idea at the conceptual stage - if enough people are interested and committed, I can proceed with further organisation.

WHY ICELAND? Iceland's geological wonders include:

Cascading waterfalls like Gullfoss, geothermal marvels like Geysir, bubbling mud pots at Hverir or mineral-rich waters of the Blue Lagoon amid surreal volcanic landscapes.

Krafla's volcanic region and the dramatic rift valleys formed by tectonic activity in Thingvellir National Park.

Reynisfjara's striking basalt columns and sea stacks rising from dark sands, creating a surreal coastal landscape.

Dettifoss - Europe's most powerful waterfall, or Glymur, hidden within lush canyons.

The Highlands' lunar-like terrain and Askja's massive crater formed by historic eruptions.

Note this is NOT a guided tour, an organised excursion or anything like it. The idea is for a group of people to get together and share a common experience, with no one in charge or responsible for the groups experience.
