Welcome
It is our pleasure to announce the 38th Congress of the Scandinavian Association of Plastic Surgeons – SCAPLAS, taking place in Reykjavík, Iceland, 13 – 15 June 2022.

This is a plastic surgery-focused congress that brings surgeons, nurses, and residents together from the Nordic Countries? and beyond. The congress will not only connect plastic surgeons and nurses professionally from these countries, but also will help forge and reinforce friendships that can last throughout our careers.

It is close to most of the Congress hotels, art galleries, shopping areas and restaurants.
June – Iceland’s month of “the midnight sun” – is a wondrous time for a visit. We will offer various excursions hoping participants will use this opportunity to take time to enjoy the unique nature of Iceland as well as shape the future of plastic surgery together!
We are looking forward to seeing you in Iceland!

@northiceland is home to the 250 km (155 miles) Diamond Circle route that includes some of the most breathtaking natural phenomena and landscapes. A must-see in this area is the impressive Dettifoss Waterfall:
❄️ Dettifoss is Europe's most powerful waterfall and Iceland's most voluminous
❄️ 96,500 gallons—or 365 cubic meters of water fall down Dettifoss every second
❄️ This thunderous waterfall is so powerful it makes surrounding rocks vibrate, and its mist creates multiple rainbows
Make sure to include this marvel in your North Iceland itinerary! #inspiredbyiceland
What gives the @bluelagoonis its iconic milky-blue color? 💙
It's a result of how the silica reflects sunlight. Blue Lagoon's waters are rich in silica, algae, and minerals. A powerful natural blend that offers remarkable healing & revitalizing properties as hot seawater emerges from great depths. It is said that the Blue Lagoon's geothermal healing waters help with psoriasis and eczema.
Experience the rejuvenating power of @bluelagoonis for yourself and leave feeling renewed!

In @visitausturland, tucked away in Jokuldalur Glacier Valley, is the breathtaking Studlagil Canyon. 💙 Towering basalt columns rise from the dreamy blue-green glacial river snaking northeast through this secret paradise. Studlagil is off the beaten track but is an unforgettable sight, especially with a dusting of fresh snow. #inspiredbyiceland
Mesmerizing yet mysterious, the Northern Lights have been a source of wonder since ancient times. ✨ In Icelandic folklore, it was believed that their captivating beauty could help alleviate childbirth pain.
Experience the lights and allow your mind to wander while watching this phenomenon. #inspiredbyiceland
Did you know that winter is ice caving season? A guided tour through the stunning crystal blue ice caves at Vatnajökull National Park in @southiceland is a must during the colder months when the ice freezes. Each ice cave is unique and temporary due to the melting and reshaping of glaciers over time. So you'll never see the same one! #inspiredbyiceland

From the top of Akranes Lighthouse, visitors can enjoy picturesque views of @westiceland year-round. The original and smaller lighthouse closer to the water was in service from 1918 until 1947. Today, the current lighthouse still shines for mariners and also serves as a unique venue to host concerts and art exhibitions. ✨ #inspiredbyiceland
