TRAVEL & ACCOMMODATION

Iceland has long been one of the world’s leading nations in commercial fishing and aquaculture, with the ocean at the heart of its culture, economy, and identity. Surrounded by some of the richest fishing grounds in the North Atlantic, Iceland has built a global reputation for responsible fisheries management, innovation in seafood processing, and the development of sustainable aquaculture. Today, the country exports high-quality seafood to markets across the globe and continues to lead in research, technology, and practices that ensure the long-term health of marine resources.

Reykjavík, the northernmost capital in Europe, is closer to New York than Los Angeles is, and only a short flight (between two and four hours) from most major cities in Western Europe.

Reykjavík itself is a welcoming and cosmopolitan city of around 200,000 people, representing nearly 60% of Iceland’s population. It offers high-quality hotels, restaurants, nightlife, theatres, and cultural attractions, with highlights including the world-famous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa nearby.
