| il23:37 UTC15 May 2010 | If everything goes to plan – namely, no more volcanic ash clouds – we will be landing in Iceland in the beginning of June for a three weeks backpacking trip.
But at this point we still have a few questions unanswered, so I was hoping any of you could contribute from your knowledge and experience.
1. International Student Card (ISIC) or Hostelling International card (HI)? Which of these would be most useful, and where?
2. Which prepaid SIM card can be considered best?
3. How about a whale-watching tour? Which company would you recommend (where and for how much)?
4. Which treks would be considered Iceland's top three in your view?
Many thanks in advance

Here are my considerations on your points:
1. ISIC is perhaps not so known here in Iceland (although it might, I just don't know), HI gives you cheaper stay at hostels.
2. Depends on what you plan to use it for, if you need 3G for web use, I would look at Siminn or Nova, for other needs, Siminn
3. google the operators, the one I can remember is Elding (www.elding.is) they leave from Reykjavik, but there are other operators scattered around the island.
4. Hornstrandir, Hornstrandir and Hornstrandir (3 different routes on Hornstrandir)
