Cycling in Iceland reveals a land of unbelievable geological drama. From icebergs resting on black sand beaches to bubbling hot springs backdropped by jagged mountains, this island is like a playground for geologists. Cycle touring here is a true adventure with miles upon miles of gravel roads, significant distances between settlements and highly changeable weather. These challenges reward you ten times over, with epic views, tumbling waterfalls and astounding lava fields.
