According to cold-climate climbers, it’s possible to read ice by its colors: the deeper the blue, the more solid it is. Your own trip to Iceland will later be read by tinctures, too.

Long ago, legendary Vikings here once had names such as Erik the Red. Today, icebergs the sizes of trucks wash up on black-sand beaches. On your tour of Iceland, you’ll discover turquoise hues in the warm waters of the Blue Lagoon, and you’ll gain the opportunity to glimpse the sulfur-colored belly of a blue whale. The wind-blown manes of Icelandic horses create a moving sea of tans and browns, while white soars in the skies in the guise of the tail feathers of eagles.

If you choose an Iceland hiking and walking tour, you’ll traverse cavernous, blue-gray glaciers; trek to steaming, slate-colored lava beds; and travel through bizarre rock formations and canyons to Thórsmörk, where views of lush, green vales and brilliant, cobalt lakes await. In Iceland, where the tectonic plates of America and Europe collide, towering volcanoes rise. Boiling mud pots and waterfalls so high they’re named for gods still flow from that power.

In Nordic terms, a story is a “saga.” But unlike the Icelandic sagas celebrated for centuries, you’ll write you own, new Icelandic tale in colors.
