Svalbard's largest island Spitsbergen showcases Arctic beauty in its untouched glory; a wilderness of steep mountains, glaciers, and islands. Over the next four days, you'll explore some of the world's most dramatic fjords, listening for the creaks of glaciers as they calve icebergs into the sea. Delight in the rare chance to seek the region's apex predator, the magnificent polar bear, in its natural environment following the sea-ice edge hunting for seals. We'll take advantage of every opportunity to land, taking expedition boats ashore for hiking and other activities. If we can, we'll launch our kayaks to enjoy the scenery in near-perfect silence. ...

Day 7
Jan Mayen, Norway
Jan Mayen has no permanent residents and visits to the island are rare. In fact, we're one of the few to attempt landings here. If conditions allow, you'll be setting foot in one of Earth's most remote places. Jan Mayen's surreal, moss- and lichen-streaked landscape is dominated by the Beerenberg volcanic cone. It's the world's northernmost active volcano and last erupted in 1985. You won't see land mammals here, but the island is designated an Important Bird Area, supporting large populations of northern fulmars this time of year. Look out for abundant marine life in the surrounding waters too, including whales and seals. ... Read More

Gaze at snowcapped peaks as we cruise along Eyjafjordur, Iceland's longest fjord. It's also known as a great place to spot humpbacks and minke whales, as well as white-beaked dolphins and harbor porpoises. Iceland's 'Northern Capital', Akureyri, sits at the fjord base. Here, you can enjoy the oasis of a botanical garden, and visit top-notch eateries and museums. A little further afield, you can witness the picturesque Godafoss waterfall, where turquoise waters pound against black rocks.

Husavik looks out over Skjalfandi bay, which enjoys visits from humpback and minke whales, white-beaked dolphin, harbor porpoise, and even the elusive blue whale. If you're lucky, you might see one or more of these giants at sea. Learn more about them at Husavik's Whale Museum. The Exploration Museum here has a section dedicated to space.

Day 13
Elduvik, Denmark
Today, we'll stop to explore the tiny village of Elduvik, with just 23 inhabitants. Set in the Funningsfjordur inlet in the Faroe Islands. Elduvik is split in two by the river Stora. While small, it comes complete with a school, church, dock, and pier. From the pier, enjoy the view across the sparkling waters to the nearby island of Kalsoy - it's astonishingly peaceful here. As you walk through the village's charming streets, listen for the songs of seabirds, bleating sheep, and waves coming to shore from the fjord. You'll notice that the roofs of many houses are built in the traditional Icelandic style: covered in grass instead of slate, offering much-needed insulation and protection against the weather. ...

In the local museums, you can learn about the city's origins and the flora, fauna, and geology of the Faroe Islands. About half a mile out of town, the Svartafoss waterfall tumbles over mossy rocks.
