The Nordic island of Iceland is a rugged landscape sculpted by intense geological forces, including volcanoes, glaciers, waterfalls, geysers, and the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. Discover what makes this nature destination so special in this virtual introduction with naturalist Expedition Leader Court Whelan, Ph.D.

Iceland’s isolated location and harsh environment pose unique challenges for animals seeking residency on this island at the edge of the Arctic. Expedition Leader Lianne Thompson explores how species like Arctic foxes arrived during the Ice Age via land bridges, while others, such as seabirds and marine mammals, journeyed across oceans to establish themselves in Iceland. She also explains the impact of volcanic activity, glaciation and human settlement on the island's biodiversity, from the spread of invasive species to the balance between wildlife and people.

You may know that Nat Hab is the world's first carbon-neutral travel company (humble brag), but our commitment to conservation goes beyond offsetting. Brooke Mitchell chats with Chief Sustainability Officer Court Whelan about our 2024 conservation successes and challenges, as well as our goals for 2025. Find out how sustainability and conservation travel go hand in hand, and learn more about our conservation programs, from philanthropy projects in the regions we visit to trip scholarships for inspiring eco-educators!

When you think about conservation, you might not immediately imagine grabbing your camera. But photography is an important tool for protecting vulnerable animal populations! Expedition Leader and wildlife photographer Lianne Thompson explains how storytelling photography—in combination with other conservation initiatives—is helping save seabirds in Iceland, including Atlantic puffins, Arctic terns, northern fulmars and eider ducks. She also offers her advice on how to capture compelling photos of Iceland’s birdlife, from composition to camera settings.
