ICELAND REVIEW 83
Skógar Museum was founded in 1949
and preserves the cultural heritage of
South Iceland. The collection took
place at the turning point in the his-
tory of the Icelandic nation. The old
rural society was vanishing, a new
culture was taking root. In reconstruc-
tions of old turf farmhouses visitors
can see how the people of past times
were living. In 2002 a large exhibition
facility was built to house exhibits
from the technological age that be-
gan in Iceland in the beginning of the
20th century. This new museum, The
Museum of Transport and Communi-
cation has a spacious cafeteria and a
beautiful souvenir shop.

Based near Vík on Iceland’s southern coast, we at Arcanum
Glacier Tours reside in one of the country’s most spectacu-
lar natural playgrounds. Our base is located right at the foot-
hills of Mýrdalsjökull glacier, so the icecap is just minutes away.
Most of our guides are local to the area, meaning we know
it like the back of our hands, and drawing from our 20 years of
experience, we can create a tour that checks off all the boxes
for you, whether you’re an individual, group or company.
Fancy cruising to the top of a glacier or standing on a re-
mote black volcanic beach? Our snowmobiles will put a smile
on your face. Our super jeeps are ready to get into gear and
take you to the top of the glacier or down to Sólheimasandur
sands. And our ATVs also traverse Sólheimasandur. Are you
an explorer at heart? We have the full kit for you to hike on a
hulk of glacial ice, while experiencing the unique environment
of Sólheimajökull glacial tongue, with its amazing terrain full
of crevasses, sink holes and ice ridges.
Let us make your adventure trip something out of this world.
