A Cliffside View

Here’s a view of the coastline from Dun Aengus, a stone fort on a cliff edge in the Aran Islands.

A Bumpy Ride

Our boat was whacked by quite a lot of ice as it moved towards the Eqi glacier in Iceland.

Wall of Pringles

What, you think people just eat seal meat in Greenland? No. This is a wall of Pringles at the local supermarket. Food comes in by ship from Denmark; takes two weeks.

Greenland Pipes

Everything is built on solid rock in Greenland, so the pipes are above ground; which, as you can see, can create a bit of a tangle.

Very Local Iceberg

You don't have to look too hard to find an iceberg in Greenland. This one drifted into the harbor (in August).

Someplace Cold

Not too many people go here. This is Ilulissat, on the west coast of Greenland. The walls and ceiling of the airport building are insulated against the cold. The runway is about the size of a postage stamp.

Awesome Mural

A nifty mural on the side of a house in Flateyri, in a very distant corner of NW Iceland.

Shuttle Service

The only way back to civilization from the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve is via a one-hour ride on this shuttle service. They use the Zodiac on the stern to pick you up from the shore.
