Our Trip to the Arctic Circle
amafu fq label 1

UPDATED JANUARY 2012

During our trip to Antarctica in 2008 we heard a lot about Greenland, so decided to pay it a visit. In September 2010 we embarked on a trip via Norway, to Greenland and finally to Iceland. The journey took so to within 1000Km of the north pole.

Over the next few months we will be showing photographs of the trip. We hope you enjoy them as much as we have.

Final stage: Iceland interior.

Old fissures are often filled with water. The road here requires regular repair as the plates split it apart at about 2 centimeters a year.
