discover- the- world. co. uk Q. Where is the Ice Hotel? A. Actually, it's a popular misconception - there isn't one in Iceland! The original and quite magnifi cent ICEHOTEL is located in the village of Jukkasjarvi in Swedish Lapland. Surprisingly for many people, the comparatively warmer temperatures in Iceland simply can't sustain a hotel made of ice! See our Lapland brochure's unique range of winter holidays, or take a look at pages 100- 101 for a great two centre option combining Iceland and the ICEHOTEL. Q. I'd like to visit but isn't it really expensive? A. It is fair to say that the country once had a reputation for sky high prices but thankfully, this is largely a thing of the past thanks to the pound strengthening against the Krona and the diffi culties with the Icelandic banking system. In fact Lonely Planet and a number of other sources have stated in the press that 2010- 2011 is THE time to visit - value for money on the whole has never been so good! Iceland is indeed expecting a bumper year for visitors but with capacity being limited, the term ' book early to avoid disappointment' has never been more pertinent! Q. What do I need to take with me? A. For a summer visit touring by coach or car, comfortable and casual clothing in layers is best. Include a good quality breathable wind and rainproof jacket and trousers, a light and thick sweater or ' fl eece' jacket, sunglasses, a hat and neck gaiter or scarf as well as sturdy walking shoes or boots. Hikers should pack thermal underwear, and for campers a three- season sleeping bag is advisable if you're taking our Summertime Special camping safari. For winter visits, warm over- trousers and a thick jacket or coat are essential. After booking your holiday with us, you will receive a Travel Tips booklet full of advice on what clothing and other items to take, notes on photography, local information and much more. Don't forget - bring swimwear and a towel for the many naturally heated bathing pools - whatever the time of year! VOLCANO HOTLINE At least 30 Icelandic volcanic systems have been active in the last 1100 years, accounting for over 160 eruptions. In the last 12 years, there have been eruptions under the Vatnajokull icecap and on Hekla. We run special trips to view eruptions as and when they occur, so if you'd like to witness such a spectacular event, email your daytime and evening contact details to volcanohotline@ discover-the- world. co. uk as we could be in touch at very short notice!
