Ultimate Northern Lights- Midgard

3 Days / 2 locations in Iceland

Midgard is a place where time ceases to matter. Located deep in the highlands of Iceland, literally in the middle of nowhere, Midgard is only reachable by super jeep.

On our way there we have to pass the vast Sprengisandur sand and make our way through the mountains, but finally arriving in Midgard is so rewarding. The intensity of the Northern lights, the shooting stars and the nothingness is a once in a lifetime experience. At Midgard no one gets bored. Our winter days are spent playing in the

snow with toys you have only dreamed of; snowmobiles, super jeeps, snowkite, ice fishing, and learning basic survival skills. Evenings are spent in total relaxation, telling stories, playing cards and barbequing Icelandic delicacies. If you wish to get as far away as you can from traffic and city lights - this is your ultimate refuge.
