Iceland, Conquer the Highest Peak Open Challenge Charity: Choose a charity (Open Challenges) Challenge:  Iceland weekend trek - Conquer Iceland’s highest peak, Öræfajökull, 2119 m Dates: 07/07/2011 -11/07/2011 Deposit*: £ 250 Minimum Sponsorship*: £  2000 Grade:  Very Challenging   Sign up for our Open Challenge to climb Iceland’s Highest Peak in July 2011 and join a small group of trekkers who are all raising funds for their chosen charity. Öræfajökull is an ice-covered volcano in south-east Iceland. It's the largest active volcano in the country and on its north-western rim is Hvannadalshnúkur, the highest peak in Iceland. Geographically Öræfajökull is considered part of the Vatnajökull glacier, which is within the bounds of Skaftafell National Park. The ascent is a challenge, but the rewards bring you breathtaking views across Vatnajökull and southeast Iceland, and the incredible experience of hiking through a glacial wilderness. We ascend on the North West side of the crater up to the peak of Hvannadalshnúkur, with the aid of crampons and ice axe. (Everyone will be given a full briefing and training on how to use crampons whilst we are on the glacier). An incredible glacial experience and challenge!   Contact Lisa, Connie or Jennie events@theultimatetravelcompany.co.uk 020 7386 4680   Downloads Application Pack 2011_Iceland.pdf		In Pictures     Participant Feedback...
