Supporting ICE-SAR (The Icelandic Association for Search and Rescue) is a part of the Iceland Hotel Collection's social responsibility policy. Having a strong search and rescue team available when needed is of the highest importance, not only for Icelanders but also for foreign visitors who regularly need its assistance.
