“... we got to explore the remote east coast of Greenland by foot and by boat. There is so much I want to share from this trip. The amount of ice we saw is one thing. Here is a collection of images taken whilst exploring (read, gingerly navigating) the Sermilik Fjord in our trusty 60 foot expedition yacht, kayak and paddle board.” @kelvintrautman @zealoptics @feeturesrunning @salomon @auroraarktika @annafrosty @ingafann #climatechange

“A trip of a lifetime. I still consider the experience we had during ‘Under an Arctic Sky’ to be one of the greatest lessons in my life of learning to leave expectations at the door and be open to what nature has in store for you. Possibly also where the line is between adventure & stupidity :)” @chrisburkard

“62 ft. sailing ski lodge. Fresh fish, plenty of beer and live music. Shit snow, crap weather likely. Best ski trip I've ever been on!” @acekvale

“Getting this amazing view over my home town Ísafjörður after reaching the top of the climb, was a great bonus.

“I have a love hate relationship with the sea. One side of me is terrified of it, which who wouldn’t be, it’s monstrous. But then there’s this other side of me that is attracted to the beauty, calmness, elements of danger and potential unknown of the sea, especially the Arctic Ocean. Here is a photo I shot of Arktika while hiking from one side of the fjord to the other last year. I was at the top of a little mountain peak resting and just taking in the views.” @isleyreust . . . . #iceland #isafjordur #ísafjörður #icelandscape #icelandnature #icelandtravel #iceland_photography #icelandadventure #unlimitediceland #icelandexplored #guidetoiceland #hiddeniceland #visitwestfjords #westfjords #bbcearth #wheniniceland #wonderful_places #stunningicelandd #choosemountains #getoutstayout #bbcearth #hornstrandir #extremeiceland #arcticocean #traveliceland #theearthoutdoors #lostiniceland #discovericeland

“... we got to explore the remote east coast of Greenland by foot and by boat. There is so much I want to share from this trip. The amount of ice we saw is one thing. Here is a collection of images taken whilst exploring (read, gingerly navigating) the Sermilik Fjord in our trusty 60 foot expedition yacht, kayak and paddle board. And below is blurb from Gaurdian columist, Peter Barkham that helps put this into perspective… It is calving season in the Arctic. A flotilla of icebergs, some as jagged as fairytale castles and others as smooth as dinosaur eggs, calve from the ice sheet that smothers Greenland and sail down the fjords. The journey of these sculptures of ice from glaciers to ocean is eerily beautiful and utterly terrifying. The wall of ice that rises behind Sermilik fjord stretches for 1,500 miles (2,400km) from north to south and smothers 80% of this country. It has been frozen for 3m years. Now it is melting, far faster than the climate models predicted and far more decisively than any political action to combat our changing climate. If the Greenland ice sheet disappeared sea levels around the world would rise by seven metres, as 10% of the world's fresh water is currently frozen here.” @kelvintrautman @zealoptics @feeturesrunning @salomon @auroraarktika @annafrosty @ingafann #climatechange

“Runners stoke. Trail stoke. Photo stoke. With no roads, the only way to get around here is by foot or sailboat. More, except for the resident lighthouse keeper, this tip of North West Iceland has been uninhabited for more than 60 years, meaning fauna and flora abound. While @robkrar pretends fly down the singletrack so 10’s of thousands of Brunnichs Guillemots and Puffins crowd and soar alongside the gigantic cliffs. It was quite a spectacle. One that I’m glad I had a wide angle lens for - trying to cram everything into one frame.” @kelvintrautman

Spot @annafrosty jumping off the bowsprit😎 “Polar swimming, it always seems like a good idea until you have to actually do it. Framed by the blue edge of the mighty Greenland ice cap, @annafrosty jumps from the bow of the 60 foot expedition yacht, @auroraarktika into 3 degree water.” @kelvintrautman @auroraarktika @zealoptics @thuletrails #ROAM

Aurora Borealis above the city lights of Ísafjörður. “The northern lights were dancing around and it was possible to see lots of different colours, even red and purple with the naked eye. I'm glad I went out with the camera, something that I do too seldom. Guess I'm spoiled, having seen the northern lights very often.” 📷 @retro_outdoors . . #auroraborealis #northernlightsiceland #visitwestfjords

“Was on my way for an ice climb when we saw some friends getting ready to surf. The weather was great and everything looked so awesome. Couldn't resist stopping and shoot for a while.” @retro_outdoors . Pretty hardcore sport, surfing in sub-zero temps in the arctic pretty much. I'm sure I will go for it this winter. The pressure is building up, I can feel it 😛 . . . #surfing #arctic #iceland #Westfjords #ísafjörður #surf #surfinglife #surfphotography #surfer #naturephotography #mountains #arcticsurfing #ice #ocean #adventureawaits #adrenalinjunkie #coldwatersurfing #visitwestfjords #icelandic #vikings #outdoors
