Day Trip to Iceland

Ever needed to take a day outing to Iceland without jumping on a plane. Roosted on Lake Winnipeg's west shore lies Gimli, a little town initially settled by Canadian Icelanders in 1875. Throughout the century, Gimli has figured out how to save the Icelandic dialect and culture.

The railroad achieved Gimli in 1906, and in the 1930's the southern shore region of Gimli saw ious lodges and cabins fly up, and a flood of travelers. Gimli is home to the Icelandic Festival of Manitoba, Canadians slide on Gimli to appreciate Icelandic nourishment, exhibitions and workmanship shows. You can visit, explore and experience this place.
