Lady Returns to Iceland
Blog: A Lady in London - 26 April 2012
My first trip to Iceland took place during the summer. The sun shone 24 hours a day, the sky was clear, and the weather was as warm as it gets in a country with the word “ice” in the name. But Iceland is better known for its long nights than its endless days, and the [...]

Video: Whale Watching in Husavik, Iceland
Blog: WildJunket - 10 November 2011
From somewhere beyond the tranquility comes a spray of water and a slow-motion flip of a fluke. It’s a humpback whale. Just meters away from our old sailboat. I watch in awe as it glides gently by the bow of our boat, shyly peeking at us through the water surface.

Blog: WildJunket - 18 September 2011
