Formerly Eskimos Iceland, the company has been planning travel here since 2000 and is still owned by its founder. Twenty-six years have built the relationships that luxury in Iceland depends on: the finest hotels and lodges, the best chefs, pilots and private guides, the people who pick up the phone for them. That is the baseline. What guests remember is what happens around it. A table set somewhere it has no business being. A canyon with no one else in it. A guide who knows exactly when to stop the car.

North of Normal is a proud founding partner of Elsewhere. The companies in the Collective met the way good partners usually do, over years of working side by side, sharing clients and trusting each other's judgement. Each of them is independent and owner-led, and each is held to the same standard. When a guest travels from Iceland to Italy, Ireland or France, they are handed over to people North of Normal would trust with their own family.
