We are all travellers at heart who crave that tantalizing spark of excitement when stepping into the unfamilliar. Nowhere is that fire better kindled than in the land of ice, where life-affirming wonders includes deeply immersive adventures. Zodiak beside looming icebergs. Spelunk massive ice caves. Snorkel between tectonic plates. While most Isafjordur consider this landscape as other-wordly, it is pure heaven to film directors and A-list actors who forge through Game-of-Thrones scenery. A golden circle of soul- enriching sites, inside the Golden Circle, flights over Gullfoss, Geysir, then immersion beyond Isafjordur. Breath-taking Greenland brings us to the calving Eqi Glacier, the lineage of Eric the Red, and Qaqortoq, the "White Palace", abounding with icebergs, whales and the Lyngmark Glacier. Reality brings us back to Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and New York where carefully crafted land experiences let you explore like a local.
