地点介绍

The fjords and the sea create a natural canvas that is at once remote and soul-stirring on the north coast of Iceland. Here you are close to the Arctic Circle, and a passionate spirit of discovery surrounds the ship. Off the beaten track, the route takes you to the most beautiful destinations on the peninsula and the islands. The oldest settlement in Iceland is the fishing village of Husavik , known as one of the best places in Europe for whale watching. You may even spot the sea giants from on board. You will also be mesmerised by nature on land when you hike up the local mountain Husavikurfjall and to Lake Botnsvatn with your experts. Husavik is also the starting point for tours* in the surrounding area – for example, to the Dettifoss waterfall, which falls from a height of 45 m (148 ft) and the Asbyrgi Canyon – according to legend, a giant horse of Odin (the father of the gods) created this massive rock basin. The expedition route takes you on to a magical destination: the northern Arctic Circle on Grimsey , 40 km (25 mi.) north of Iceland. This makes the island the only inhabited place in Iceland where the midnight sun can be seen. Millions of birds breed on the cliffs and beaches and find plenty of food in the waters that are full of fish. Enjoy the sights on hikes with your experts to the polar circle monument, the bird cliffs and the lighthouse. A true pearl of the north, Akureyri sits on a long fjord. Take your time to explore the charming town centre with its wooden houses from the late 19th century and stroll through the lively alleys. A visit to the botanical garden is also worthwhile: the unique plant collection includes almost all native and several hundred foreign plant species. The home of author Jon Sveinsson is also your gateway to the majestic nature in the surrounding are, which is best explored on an excursion*. The people of Djupavik used to come and go with the shoals of herring. The story begins in 1917, when a herring salting plant was founded here. The plant soon became the largest employer in the region, so that a modern herring factory was built in the 1930s, the largest of its kind in Europe at the time. After just 20 years, the catch quotas were so low that production had to be discontinued. A tour of the abandoned buildings with disused machines and huge tanks is like travelling back in time. Explore this ghost town independently. Alternatively, hike with your experts along the shore of the fjord and up the surrounding mountains. Tip for ornithologists: Many bird species can be seen on the north coast of Iceland: common species include eider ducks and Arctic terns. On the water, puffins are usually joined by razorbills and common murres. With a bit of luck, you may spot a short-eared owl, a merlin or even a gerfalcon. The graceful red-necked phalarope can usually be observed at close range here, and the meadows are home to golden plovers.
