24–31 May 2027: Iceland's elemental forces, circumnavigation of the entire island

Unspoilt natural beauty

Discover Iceland's impressive volcanic landscape with its active volcanoes, geysers, glaciers, mountains and waterfalls. At this time of year, this country offers what is probably the best whale watching in Europe. You can also look out for colonies of Arctic birds such as puffins.

  • Explore Iceland's coastline in its entirety and see some of the country's most fascinating sights on this complete circumnavigation, which begins and ends in Reykjavík.
  • Experience the geological wonders of the land of fire and ice, from volcanoes and glaciers to geysers and hot springs.
  • Watch whales in Húsavík and puffins in Bakkagerði and Heimaey, and travel with us to the Arctic Circle.

Prospective ship's doctors

That's why I'm going to book the course.
I have already completed several training courses with Ärztefortbildungen and have been impressed each time by the topics, speakers and destination. Antarctica has always been at the top of my list.

I would like to prepare myself thoroughly for working as a ship's doctor. The exciting topics and the fascinating expedition to Antarctica motivated me to book the ship's doctor course.
