Fancy an adventure in northern Europe?  Then check out new tour operator Magnetic North Travel whose destinations include Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Scotland.

Says Laura Greenman, managing director:

“The eruption and its impact demonstrate how close we are all connected as northern Europeans. Magnetic North Travel is all about the drama of landscapes and how humans have adapted, and Iceland is no exception. Ultimately we’re powerless as human beings. But if we combine the recognition of our ‘northerness’ with a new-found respect for nature, we’ll discover a chance to learn something new about ourselves. This is what we’re offering at Magnetic North Travel.”

The company is specializing in northern European trips that “immerse people in human stories and wild landscapes.”  It encourages travel by sea and train to each destinations.
