The mayor of Reykjavik, Iceland once darkened the city in observance of the Northern Lights.
This kind of digital detox is a trend well embraced in Iceland. Diverse landscapes—glacial rivers,
sand, lava fields and mountains—set the stage for quiet yet adventurous moments for groups
seeking a natural recharge and reprieve from corporate spiel.
Reykjavik Iceland's meetings & events scene is chock full of authentic and creative experiences
and venues. Planners will have an easy time of organizing tailor-made adventures. Repelling into
a magma chamber, basking in natural hot springs, diving between two tectonic plates and all
terrain joy riding make the top of our list. Groups can also explore the only geothermal cone in the
world that you can scuba dive to. All this, combined with Iceland's vibrant art scene, unique
cultural blend and upbeat nightlife are helping to make Iceland a must-experience destination for
meeting planners.
Vast explorable landscapes sprawl out for the picking in Vatnajökull, Western Europe's largest
National Park. The park covers 15 percent of Iceland. Few if any regions in the world offer ice
caps and outlet glaciers, geothermal energy, frequent sub glacial volcanic activity and outburst
floods. All in a day.
