subsidiary glacier tongues. Groups can bundle up and experience orientating team building
activities on the glacier. Glacier hiking, Geo tours, rafting, ice climbing and Quad biking activities
are popular corporate group activities. Icelandic horses, a special five-gaited breed, are available
for riding tours.
When asked how meeting planners incorporate Iceland's diverse landscapes into meetings &
incentives Brynja Laxdal, Meet in Reykjavik's director of marketing said, "Many use Iceland's
gorgeous landscapes as a backdrop to their meetings either though real-time exposure or the
integration of technology such as audio/video equipment. Meeting and reception decorations
often incorporate Icelandic flora and many venues hold true to Iceland's "Land of Fire and Ice"
knickname by incorporating fire and ice themes."
There are plenty of conference facilities, large and boutique hotels in Reykjavik that incorporate
Iceland's rich Viking and West Nordic heritage. The sparkling Harpa Concert & Conference
Centre design gives homage to the crystallized basalt columns commonly found in Iceland;
exteriors mimic Icelandic landscapes. Blue Lagoon Geothermal Spa and Videy island are
excellent venues for creative meetings.
Larger groups can stay at the Hilton Reykjavik Nordica, Grand Hotel Reykjavik or the Radisson
Blu Saga Hotel Reykjavik, ranging from 5,000 to 16,000 sf of meeting space. If you're thinking
