The capital of Iceland's land of ice, fire, and natural wonder, Reykjavik is a city like no other - blossoming among some of the world's most vibrant and violent scenery. Home to two-thirds of Iceland's population, Reykjavik is the island's only real city, and a welcoming and walkable place - full of bicycles gliding along boulevards or battling the wind when it rears up. Fresh licks of paint brighten the streets, and an artistic and creative atmosphere embraces studios and galleries - as well as the kitchens where an exciting culinary scene is burgeoning. Plot your adventures in the city's hip bars and cozy cafes, or waste no time in venturing out to Iceland's outdoor adventures. Reykjavik's buildings stand together - below the whip of winter's winds - together with the magnificent Hallgrímskirkja church, with its bell tower rising resolutely over the city. Iceland's largest church's design echoes the lava flows that have shaped this remote land and boasts a clean and elegant interior. The Harpa Concert Hall's sheer glass facade helps it to assimilate into the landscape, mirroring back the city and harbor. Its LED lights shimmer in honor of Iceland's greatest illuminated performance - the northern lights. Walk in the crusts between continents, feel the spray from bursts of geysers, and witness the enduring power of Iceland's massive waterfalls. Whether you want to sizzle away in the earth-heated geothermal pools or hike to your heart's content, you can do it all from Reykjavik - the colorful capital of this astonishing outdoor country.

Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and catch up with what you've been meaning to do. So whether that is going to the gym, visiting the spa, whale-watching, catching up on your reading, or simply topping up your tan, these blue sea days are the perfect balance to busy days spent exploring shoreside.

Scoresby Sund is the largest and longest fjord system in the world, and it exhibits all the natural wonders Greenland has to offer. This labyrinth of islands, fjords, and ice boggles the mind at every turn. Named in honor of William Scoresby, the English explorer who mapped the area in 1822, Scoresby Sund today hosts only the small town of Ittoqqortoormiit, although it has been inhabited by many Paleo-Eskimo cultures in the past. The area is incredibly rich in Arctic wildlife, hosting musk oxen, arctic foxes, and a wealth of marine life including whales, belugas, narwhals, walrus, and seals, as well as several species of sea birds, including King Eiders, Atlantic Puffins and several species of geese which migrate to the area during the fleeting Arctic Summer. It is also one of the best places in the world to see polar bears in their natural habitat, an experience that can never be forgotten. But the scenery is the true highlight of Scoresby Sund. The area is very sheltered, and the waters of the fjords are often glassy and calm, save the vast icebergs that calve off the vast glaciers that drain from the Greenland Ice Sheet into the fjord. Staggering geological variation means no two mountain views are the same, some black, layered, and covered with permanent ice, while some are jagged, pinnacled cliffs sweeping out to the fjord to eye-watering heights, crowned with ice that never melts.

In the 1920s the sparsely settled coast of East Greenland had too many families living in Ammassalik (today’s Tasiilaq) for the hunting grounds available and in 1925 Scoresbysund was chosen to start a new settlement with some 70 Inuit from Ammassalik and four families from West Greenland. Less than 10 kilometers from the entrance to the Scoresbysund system, Ittoqqortoormiit (“Big House Dwellers”) lies on the southern tip of Liverpool Land, a low and rounded area compared to the steeper mountains further south or into the fjord system. Some 460 inhabitants call Ittoqqortoormiit, one of Greenland’s most isolated settlements, their home. Not counting the military and civilian researchers at Daneborg, Northeast Greenland, their closest neighbors actually live in Iceland. Although Greenland’s hottest hot springs are located some 8 kilometers south of Ittoqqortoormiit, the village is frozen in some nine months of the year and access to other parts of the country can only be done via the Nerlerit Inaat Airport at Constable Point some 38 km to the north with flights to Iceland and West Greenland. The former village’s shop serves as a small museum, features historic photographs and costumes, and shows what a typical hunter’s home from the 1960s looked like. Today hunting narwhals, seals, polar bears, and muskoxen is still an important part of the life, but tourism is gaining importance.

Carving deep into north-eastern Greenland, Kejser Franz Joseph Fjord promises cinematic scenery along every turn. Taking its name from the audacious expedition that brought the first Europeans to chart these remote realms, the fjord owes its title to the Austro-Hungarian leader who fiscally sponsored the daring explorations. Nestled within the vast and dramatic wilderness of Northeast Greenland National Park, the majestic fjord is surely fit for an emperor - and the sense of adventure remains palpable. Opening up into Foster Bay and the Greenland Sea, this fjord alone reaches inland for 120 miles, evolving and branching into one of Greenland's most expansive and awe-inspiring fjord systems. Towering, sheer mountains plunge suddenly into deep, inky-dark seas, while landmark formations - dashed with coppery-red hues - combine to create amazing photogenic landscapes. Encounter the astonishing scale of massive glacial chunks, birthed by terminating glaciers, as they embark on their own long and leisurely journeys. Get down onto the placid water to explore, paddling up close to ice floes, while curious seabirds circle above. Memorable northerly wildlife encounters could occur at any moment in this spectacular locale - keep your eyes peeled for narwhals and perhaps creamy-white beluga whales breaching. You might even strike it lucky and spot elusive polar bears padding along the shoreline.

King Oscar Fjord is a major fjord system in eastern Greenland. With a depth of 110 kilometers and a width of up to 25 kilometers, it marks the border with Scoresby Sund with its superb majesty. You feel very small in the middle of this labyrinth of giant valleys, in the heart of these superb and hostile landscapes, in this mineral and icy environment, between mountain peaks and icebergs. Named in 1899 by explorer and geologist A.G. Nathorst, this gigantic and majestic fjord was named after Oscar II, King of Sweden and Norway. In Danish and Greenlandic, it is known as King Oscar Fjord. Arctic wildlife can be seen in the surrounding area, from lemmings and musk oxen to arctic hares and foxes and ptarmigan, or more rarely wolves and polar bears.

Tasiilaq is the jewel in Northern Greenland’s crown. This picture-perfect haven is thought to be one of the most beautiful towns in the country and it’s easy to see why. Ice prevents boats from accessing the town in winter, but for three precious months in summer this remote paradise opens up and comes alive with a vivid cacophony of colour and nature. Deep green-hued flower dotted meadows stretch across pristine valleys, icebergs float in the bluest Sermilik Fjord and snowcapped mountain peaks reach towards seemingly endless skies. Home to the nearby Mittivakkat Glacier, this is the edge of the world at its finest. Locals spend their time dog sledding, exploring ice caves and hiking up the glacier. Soak up the natural splendour of this region where Inuit traditions are still respected. It’s a must for nature lovers seeking the crispest, freshest mountain air. As an added perk it is not uncommon to spot whales frolicking in the fjord nearby.
