About Reykjavik
According to legend, Ingolfur Arnarson threw pillars engraved with images of pagan gods overboard from his Viking ship, vowing to settle wherever the pillars washed ashore. They landed at Smoky Bay where the first settlement of Reykjavik was established around 870 AD. The name Reykjavik, or "Smoky Bay," refers to the numerous geysers emanating from the thermal springs beneath the capital. Today, Reykjavik is a modern city but its past is preserved at many fine museums including the Arbaejarsafn.
Reykjavik Attractions
A trip to Reykjavík would not be complete without a trip to the pools, which are open all year round. The best time of the day to go is definitely in the early morning (between 7 and 8 o'clock), when people gather before going to work to discuss current events. There's no better way to check the pulse of the city and to hear some gossip while you're at it.
Reykjavik Activities
For an exciting sea adventure, visitors to Reykjavík are encouraged to try one of the many whale watching tours that operate along the harbour The Blue Lagoon is probably the most recognizable feature of what Iceland has to offer visitors. This beautiful resort is located midway between the Leif Eriksson International Airport and the city of Reykjavik The Culture House contains various exhibitions that cast light on Iceland's history and cultural heritage The Viking Village consists of Fjorukrain and Hotel Viking The Reykjavik Park and Zoo is home to various animals living in Iceland, both domestic and wild. This is the place for children to get to know the animals and experince them like they don't usually get to in the large cities or zoos The Thermal beach is an old dream come true for many of those familiar with the magic of Nauthólsvík
Aappilattoq is a village in the Kujalleq municipality in southern Greenland. The name means "red", after the red mountain rising above the settlement in the Greenlandic language. The settlement had 132 inhabitants in 2010.
This modest settlement and location of a former naval base (and current Danish navy headquarters) lies at the mouth of Arsuk Fjord. A collection of colorful houses lines the rocky terrain along the water's edge. From here, one can reach nearby Ivittuut on the only asphalted road in all of Greenland.
The town was built in 1755 as a colony on the site where the Kangaamiut settlement is located today, but was moved to its present-day location in 1782. Archaeological finds indicate that the area has been settled for more than 4,000 years.
Disko Bay, with its fantastic natural features, is a favorite travel destination for many people. The bay has everything you associate with Greenland: midnight sun, enormous icebergs from the world's longest fjord, an abundance of windlife and the famous typical characteristic is the incredible number of days with mirror-like water throughout the bay. Not without reason, Disko Bay has been referred to by all the famous Greenlandic poets and songwriters and it is often mentioned in our own legends and myths. Disko Bay has always attracted the most visitors who come to Greenland.
Beautifully situated in the the Disko Bay close to the gigantic icebergs from the world's most productive glacier we find in Ilulissat, North Greenland's largest town. Ilulissat is where ancient and modern Greenland meet in the most harmonic way. 5000 sledge dogs, and two modern fish factories provide employment for the population. A landing strip runs alongside the old sledge track to Thule. Whether you visit Ilulissat in March when the temperature is minus 30° C below zero (22°F) or in July when it might rise to 17°C (63°F)in the shade you will find an abundance af activities to enjoy - perhaps a sledge trip to one of our nearby villages? Or a boat trip in the unique light of the midnight sun. Greenland tends to enter the soul, and many of our guests come back year after year. Up here the sky is high and the scenery varies from quiet evenings at the edge of a lake to the thunder of "calving" icebergs.
Ilulissat Attractions
The Ilulissat Ice fiord (Kangia in Inuit) is a true wonder of Nature. The icebergs are produced by one of the largest and fastest moving glaciers in the world, The Sermeq Kullajeq. The glacier moves c. 7 km pr year (19 meters pr day) and produces c. 35 km3 of calf ice pr year. The calving occurs during relatively few events in the summer. Huge tabular icebergs loosens and sometimes breaks up in smaller parts creating up to 700 meter high icebergs (10-12% above water). During the next 12-15 months the icebergs slowly drifts towards the mouth of the icefiord. Here an old moraine deposit has created a bank with a depth of 200-225 m. As a result the larger icebergs get stranded here, until more big icebergs from behind push them over the bank. This is why in there is always a large amount of huge icebergs right next to Ilulissat town.
