After spending weeks driving around Iceland and a week spent in the frigid Greenlandic tundra, your girl was seriously ready for a city break. I wanted to shop, eat, drink and just generally enjoy the luxuries of a more urban landscape before beginning the journey back to Australia. We started in Amsterdam. Our first day ..read more

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 ..read more

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 ..read more

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 ..read more

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 ..read more

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 ..read more

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 ..read more
