Highland Wanderers
Hardy sheep roam freely across Iceland's volcanic landscapes
Icelandic sheep are descendants of animals brought by the first Norse settlers and have evolved to thrive in one of the world's harshest environments. These remarkable animals spend their summers roaming freely across highlands and lava fields, developing incredible hardiness and foraging skills. Their double-layered fleece provides insulation against arctic winds, while their ability to find food in seemingly barren landscapes makes them perfectly adapted to Iceland's challenging terrain.
