The first person I interviewed in Iceland last year gave me some good advice: find somewhere that catches your eye and take time to connect with your intuition. She called it ‘innsæi,’ the sea within. So I chose a waterfall at the edge of a farmer’s field, and we spent the afternoon exploring it. I…
Post 1 of 2 Flatey Island. Year round population: 7 #meetthenorth #lindbladexpeditions #flatey #iceland #westiceland #boat #summerweather #north
Post 2 of 2 Valgeir’s grandparents lived here on Flatey in Iceland. The family still owns the house but it’s now shared between 11 groups of descendants. So Valgeir can come every 11 weeks, and today he’s got a propeller to fix. In June, the extended family comes together and heads off to the small…

Seaweed from the cold water of Davis Strait is clean and plentiful. A couple of times a week during the summer, Maki drives his small boat 15-20km (9-12 miles) away…
It has been over a year since Eric and I last worked together aboard the National Geographic Explorer. Part of our sponsorship for this project is to spend time on board and share stories from Meet the North. We are back on board now, and we’ll sail from Iceland to Greenland and on to Nunavut…
Not the type of photo you normally see from this country, but that is what we are all about. We’ve arrived. Iceland here we come! Starting in Reykjavik … We will circumnavigate this beautiful island by ship. #north #meetthenorth #lindbladexpeditions #iceland #reykjavik #church #smoking
