CIRCLING THE ARCTIC

Aurora Borealis

Chasing the northern lights

If your 'bucket list' includes seeing the sky dance of the Northern Lights- we can get you there. The autumn and winter skies above Greenland's eastern coast are renowned for putting on some of the best Aurora displays in the world.

Nature at Work:

Ever wondered how this breath taking phenomenon occurs? During large explosions and flares, huge quantities of solar particles are thrown out of the sun and into deep space. These travel through space, and when closing in, they are captured by the earth's magnetic field and guided towards the magnetic poles- the South & North Pole.

Arctic Adventure

North Pole – The ultimate Arctic adventure

Few people can say they stood at the one earthy spot from where every direction is south. Crushing through the ice, admiring soaring seabirds and visiting Franz Josef Land, excitement of helicopter excursions and an optional hot air balloon ride at the top of the world, your shutterbug moment at the North Pole, will make this expedition a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Interesting Polar Bear facts:

Thorsmork Glacier

The shiniest pearls in the string of beautiful Iceland locales

The area is surrounded by rugged and beautiful mountains, glaciers and glacial rivers, decorated with small birch woods and silver lined with humming brooks.
