National Geographic's Iceland AdventureMap is designed to meet the unique needs of adventure travelers detailed, durable, and accurate. Iceland includes the locations of thousands of cities and towns with an index for easily locating them, plus a clearly marked road network complete with distances and designations for expressways, motorways, and more. Transportation within and beyond the country is made easier with the locations of airports, airfields, railroads, ferry routes, and lighthouses.
What sets National Geographic AdventureMaps apart from traditional road maps are the hundreds of points of interest that highlight the diverse and unique destinations within Iceland. Outdoor activities abound on the island and activity symbols note popular locations to ski, golf, camp, fish, and swim.

Our Iceland AdventureMap is printed in the U.S.A. on a durable synthetic paper, making it waterproof, tear-resistant, and trail tough capable of going anywhere you do. The map is two-sided, and can be folded to a packable size of 4.25 x 9.25 , unfolded size is 26 x 38 .

About Iceland
Iceland is a remarkable landscape of steaming volcanoes, cobalt mountains, mighty glaciers, and shimmering waterways teeming with salmon and trout. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, the country has a temperate climate despite a high altitude just outside the Arctic Circle. Its capital Reykjavik is ordinarily a bit warmer than New York in the winter. Lovers of arts and culture will delight in Reykjavik s buzzing cultural scene while outdoor adventurers can take horseback tours, hike, bike, and fish to their heart s content.
