Āé¶¹“«Ć½ x Intrepid Travel
For years, Āé¶¹“«Ć½ has been inspiring readers to embark on their own intellectual journey of discovery. Now weāre helping you make that journey literally. Weāre putting together a collection of expeditions across the globe: tours created by Āé¶¹“«Ć½ editors for Āé¶¹“«Ć½ readers.
Come with us on an expedition youāll never forget and enjoy experiences that you cannot wait to tell someone about. And because itās Āé¶¹“«Ć½, youāll share your adventure in the very best of company.
Our inaugural expedition this month took in the scientific wonders of Indonesia, culminating in one of natureās greatest spectacles: a total solar eclipse. On the way, we encountered unspoilt islands, exotic wildlife and the āHobbitā cave in Flores that overturned our understanding of human evolution.
Our latest itinerary is an unforgettable tour of Icelandās majestic landscapes, timed to maximise days filled with adventure and night-time opportunities to see the Aurora Borealis.
And there is more to come.
From the high Arctic to the Antarctic and much, much more of the planet in between. Make sure you donāt miss out. Sign up for expedition updates at /tours/sign-up/ or follow
Geothermal powers
Hveragerdi and KrýsuvĆk

Discover the might of the planet as you marvel at the sights, sounds and smells of erupting geysers, hot springs and bubbling pools of mud. Soothe away your cares in the warm, mineral-rich waters of the Blue Lagoon in the middle of a black lava field. Enjoy food cooked by the Earthās heat, visit a geothermal power plant, and see the innovative greenhouses where tomatoes grow even in deepest winter.
Volcanoes and glaciers
Borgarfjord and Snaefellsnes peninsula

Drive across Europeās second largest glacier in an eight-wheel truck, and see shades of blue you never knew existed in Langjƶkull ice cave. Hike across the dramatic Sólheimajƶkull glacier to discover how ice shapes the landscape. See how an eruption 8000 years ago sculpted beautifual shapes in Vatnshellir lava cave. Visit ice-capped volcano Eyjafjallajƶkull, which famously erupted in 2010.
Magical landscapes
Golden Circle and South Shore
Our tour takes in Icelandās āGolden Circleā whose highlights include the UNESCO-listed Thingvellir national park, where the tectonic plates of Europe and North America separate to create a dramatic rift valley. Next, witness the thunderous force and beauty of the Gullfoss waterfall. Steeped in legend, Icelandās south shore is famous for its sheer cliffs, picturesque villages and volcanic black sand overlooked by towering glaciers.
