Iceland Highland Trek – Emstrur to Þórsmörk
The highland trail thins its hikers out quickly. As grand as the nature is, you are assured that each breath, each footfall, will carry you toward the destination you set out to reach.
Iceland Highland Trek – Álftavatn to Emstrur
Ten kilometers of flat, black desert, no shelter, totally exposed, just volcanic sand stretching to the horizon. Two hikers walk across the emptiness. Small, unhurried, resolute.
Iceland Highland Trek – Hrafntinnusker to Álftavatn
Hours of grinding over endless volcanic gullies, suddenly, Álftavatn lake spreads below in an impossible sweep of green.
Iceland Highland Trek – Landmannalaugar to Hrafntinnusker
Beginning at Landmannalaugar, the Laugavegur Trail’s first 12KM climb through lava fields and colorful rhyolite mountains to a stark, fog-shrouded plateau near Hrafntinnusker.
Iceland Highland Trek – Start
Crossing glacial streams and shifting into raw volcanic terrain, the specialized bus took us to Landmannalaugar, the starting point for a 55-kilometer trek through the Icelandic Highlands.
Faroe Islands – Puffins
Puffins fly out over the ocean to catch small fish and crustaceans. Before taking off, puffins are extremely cautious, often standing at the mouth of their burrows for a long time and retreat back at the slightest disturbance.
Faroe Islands – Floating Lake
Due to the upward-sloping terrain on the right and the sheer cliffs in the foreground, it creates the striking illusion that Lake Sørvágsvatn is floating high above the ocean.
Faroe Islands – Lighthouse on the Cliff
Kallur Lighthouse is one of the most iconic sights in the Faroe Islands. Standing atop the high ridge feels like standing at the edge of the world - a breathtaking sight.
Greenland – Ilulissat Blue Trail
The blue trail is much more challenging than the yellow trail, stretching about 6 miles. Not only does it offer breathtaking views of the icebergs floating in the fjord, but it also takes you through the mountain range, providing a truly immersive experience in the stunning Greenlandic landscape.
