After spending weeks driving around Iceland and a week spent in the frigid Greenlandic tundra, your girl was seriously ready for a city break.

Spending a night at Igloo Lodge in Greenland (when it was -34 degrees!)

September 23, 2024. Reading time 13 minutes.

After what had been an amazing few days in Ilulissat, it was time to leave the warmth and comfort of our apartment and head off on an adventure like no other. Igloo Lodge is located 15km into the backcountry surrounding Ilulissat. 15km might not sound far, but when traversing the rugged and unforgiving Greenlandic landscapes, [ ]

A magical day sailing amongst icebergs

September 16, 2024. Reading time 9 minutes.

Some days are just simply magical. Sometimes it seems like all the elements of a day just come together to create something so undeniably remarkable. This day was one such day. When we decided to travel to Ilulissat, I had told Ella that a boat trip out amongst the icebergs was absolutely essential. I have been [ ]

A few glorious days in wintery Ilulissat

September 9, 2024. Reading time 16 minutes.

After our short but sweet 18 hour layover in Kangerlussuaq, it was time for us to head onwards to our next destination Ilulissat.

An overnight stopover in Kangerlussuaq, the gateway to Greenland

September 2, 2024. Reading time 8 minutes.

Kangerlussuaq has for a long time been the gateway to Greenland for travellers. Despite the town being tiny and overall a bit unassuming, because of the geography of the area it has always proven a more reliable place to fly in and out of. This is set to change with the opening of a new [ ]

An afternoon detour to Malmo for something disgusting

August 26, 2024. Reading time 10 minutes.

When Ella said she wanted to go to Malmo to go to the Disgusting Food Museum I was instantly keen. I love an oddball museum and I had never been to Malmo so it seemed like a fantastic idea. When our time in Iceland came to an end we essentially began our journey to Greenland. [ ]

Traversing impassable roads to visit remote waterfalls in northern Iceland

August 19, 2024. Reading time 8 minutes.

After what had been a number of days of driving in whiteout conditions, Ella was more than ready to take a break from driving for a day. I had found an extreme tour company that for a rather hefty (but worth it) price tag could take us out to some uber remote waterfalls. These waterfalls [ ]

A few freezing days in northern Iceland (in the midst of a blizzard)

August 12, 2024. Reading time 15 minutes.

We flew from Reykjavik to Akureyri in true Icelandic style (no ID required, no security at the airport, departed right on time) and in the process, went from damp cold to bitterly freezing conditions. We arrived and found that we had accidentally elected to pick up our car at the city office, not the airport [ ]

Jokusarlon to Reykjavik with some very beautiful pit stops

August 5, 2024. Reading time 9 minutes.

When we visited Iceland in early to mid January, hours of daylight were minimal. The sun would rise around 10:45ish and set by 3pm ish leaving us with 4-5 hours of light each day. It meant that each day we could only really hit up a few spots or activities and overall meant that [ ]

Icebergs, glaciers and ice caves in southern Iceland

July 29, 2024. Reading time 10 minutes.

We had arrived into the Jökulsárlón area quite late the evening before and had made the decision to spend our sunset at Diamond Beach instead of at Jökulsárlón itself. So, this next day involved a little bit of backtracking to see the spots we had missed. Now, we had initially planned to drive the whole [ ]
