Greenland – Disko Bay
Crossing Disko Bay, our boat slowly navigated past icebergs of various shapes before finally arriving at Qeqertarsuaq. Tranquil and picturesque, Disko Island is a place where time seems to stand still.

On our first day in Ilulissat, we took an evening boat tour to see the icebergs. The glacier in Ilulissat moves rapidly and is the most active in iceberg calving outside of Antarctica. The massive icebergs, reaching one to two kilometers in length, take on various shapes and are truly awe-inspiring.
After a stopover in Iceland, we finally arrived in Ilulissat, located on the west side of Greenland. We were greeted by glaciers on the sea, wildflowers by the shore, and delicious food at the hotel.
Grand Junction is located at the confluence of the Colorado River and Gunnison River. In addition to the big rivers, with the great hiking trails all around and the energetic downtown, it is the best choice as the last stop of our trip to Colorado.
Grand Mesa is the largest flat-topped mountain in the world, and a great place to see the fall colors and experience all four seasons in one day.
The Million Dollar Highway, with its treacherous terrain and beautiful scenery, is known as one of the most beautiful highways in the United States. When we drove to Silverton, it was raining heavily and there were rocks rolling down the mountain. We had to be super cautious when driving, but the scenery really made the trip worthwhile.
Known for its beautiful scenery and winding roads, Last Dollar Road is highly recommended as a top choice for enjoying the fall colors. With the help from the stormy weather, I was very lucky to capture a few shots I am happy with.
Telluride's gondola is one of the city's highlights. It connects Telluride in the valley with the mountain village at the top of the mountain, offering the possibility of a wide range of activities in the surrounding area. The gondola is the best place to overlook the majestic San Juan mountains and beautiful scenery along its route, and its long running time makes it very convenient for guests visiting both areas.
The trip to the Galápagos Islands not only allowed us to enjoy the unique natural ecology of the islands in comfortable conditions, but also allowed us to understand Darwin's theory of evolution in a more sensible way. The world is a fascinating place to explore!
