Nothing is stronger than the might of nature.
Man is powerless against the forces of strength and beauty the earth possesses. At Kastalafjallsins you are surrounded by that power, tranquility, and majesty. Stare over the breathtaking landscape from a geothermal heated river, or soak in a cliffside hot pool. Swim through mineral caverns in a serene birch forest. Stand beneath an erupting geyser and overlook the southern coastline of Iceland. Embrace the sky or the sea from a new vantage point. Everywhere you step, the creations of humanity are secondary to Earth’s intrinsic power.
