Begin with a leisurely walk around the heart of Reykjavik, guided by an Entertainment Service Officer who is here to amuse the troops, along with yourself.
Using historical films and images, travel back in time to explore why the Nazis were so interested in Iceland, why the British chose to invade, why the Americans followed suit, and how Icelandic culture was affected by foreign influences.
Next, drive to the remnants of fortifications before visiting The War & Peace Museum, located on the picturesque banks of Hvalfjordur (Whale fjord), which was the most crucial harbor in the North Atlantic during WW2.
Afterwards, enjoy the breathtaking scenery as you visit sites like the oldest still-operational quonset hut (1942 American barracks), and the ruins of the bases at Hvammsvik and Hvitanes, before returning to Reykjavik.
