New ���˾þ� x Intrepid Travel

For years, New ���˾þ� has been inspiring readers to embark on their own intellectual journey of discovery. Now we’re helping you make that journey literally. We’re putting together a collection of expeditions across the globe: tours created by New ���˾þ� editors for New ���˾þ� readers.

Come with us on an expedition you’ll never forget and enjoy experiences that you cannot wait to tell someone about. And because it’s New ���˾þ�, you’ll share your adventure in the very best of company.

Our inaugural expedition this month took in the scientific wonders of Indonesia, culminating in one of nature’s greatest spectacles: a total solar eclipse. On the way, we encountered unspoilt islands, exotic wildlife and the “Hobbit” cave in Flores that overturned our understanding of human evolution.

Our latest itinerary is an unforgettable tour of Iceland’s majestic landscapes, timed to maximise days filled with adventure and night-time opportunities to see the Aurora Borealis.

And there is more to come.

From the high Arctic to the Antarctic and much, much more of the planet in between. Make sure you don’t miss out. Sign up for expedition updates at /tours/sign-up/ or follow

Geothermal powers

Hveragerdi and Krýsuvík

Discover the might of the planet as you marvel at the sights, sounds and smells of erupting geysers, hot springs and bubbling pools of mud. Soothe away your cares in the warm, mineral-rich waters of the Blue Lagoon in the middle of a black lava field. Enjoy food cooked by the Earth’s heat, visit a geothermal power plant, and see the innovative greenhouses where tomatoes grow even in deepest winter.

Volcanoes and glaciers

Borgarfjord and Snaefellsnes peninsula

Drive across Europe’s second largest glacier in an eight-wheel truck, and see shades of blue you never knew existed in Langjökull ice cave. Hike across the dramatic Sólheimajökull glacier to discover how ice shapes the landscape. See how an eruption 8000 years ago sculpted beautifual shapes in Vatnshellir lava cave. Visit ice-capped volcano Eyjafjallajökull, which famously erupted in 2010.

Magical landscapes

Golden Circle and South Shore

Our tour takes in Iceland’s “Golden Circle” whose highlights include the UNESCO-listed Thingvellir national park, where the tectonic plates of Europe and North America separate to create a dramatic rift valley. Next, witness the thunderous force and beauty of the Gullfoss waterfall. Steeped in legend, Iceland’s south shore is famous for its sheer cliffs, picturesque villages and volcanic black sand overlooked by towering glaciers.
