Situated just below the North Pole, Iceland and
Greenland in the North Atlantic are the lands
where the Inuit people of the west first met the Norse
people from the east. The harsh Arctic climate and
the high cost of living means few visitors come here,
but those who do discover lands of some of the most
breathtaking and undisturbed snow and ice encrusted
scenery in the world.
Iceland is the land that the Vikings tried
to claim, with natural extremities of molten lava,
boiling water, ice rain and snow. It claims some of
the world's biggest waterfalls and glaciers, as well
as panoramic countryside and serenity. Iceland is
truly home to the great outdoors with hiking, horse
riding, fishing, kayaking, whale watching and sea
trips all on offer.
Greenland is the largest island in the world.
It has been home to the Inuit people, but North of
the Arctic Circle icebergs rule the sea, millions
of years old and some the size of small islands.
