“Did I go to Iceland with the intention of jumping off things into freezing water? Nah. But that's what happened. The thrill of jumping off high things into water that literally takes your breath away - it became slightly addicting. Cool story behind the first picture shown - follow my personal account @mkwock_thereal for the video and story I'll post later. All appropriate photographers tagged - please check out their pages they're all so talented. “ @mmkwock

“The most beautiful lines often require the most effort. This one involved a sketchy small plane beach landing, miles and miles of route finding, a large river crossing, and loads of uncertainty. It worked. We made an incredible descent on the edge of the world. Quite the adventure... with 📸@schirfphoto 🎥@tahoematt and ⛷ @marcuscaston I would do it again in a heartbeat” @mck_p #hornstrandir #adventureplanning #wheretonext

“All you can hear is an absolute silence and whales breathing in a distance. The sun is setting down and we do not want to start the engine to disturb the whales.” 📷 @_nata_ . . . . #olympusinspired #olympusaustralia #eastgreenland #visitgreenland #greenland

A stormy day in the north. Arktika sailing to Svalbard a few years ago. This is when she was under Dutch flag, named Bör and owned and skippered by @koninghansde. Photo by the Norwegian Coastguard.

“While breaking through the ice during our warmest day in Greenland this quickly became the best seat in the house. As temperatures rise this is what September can look like in the Arctic. Sub-Zero one second & t-shirt no shoes weather as soon as the wind dies & sun comes out. Funny that I packed my hammock for India but only managed to use it in Greenland. Somedays it feels like the world is turning upside down.” . 📷 by @_ryanhill_ @kammok via @chrisburkard #sailingphotography #sailing #sailingadventure #sailingclub #sailinglifestyle #sailingvessel #smoothsailing #sailingboats #sailingpassion

....the island is volcanic in every sense of the word: black rock, no large flora or fauna, desolate. Only when you look closely do you see the birds, the small flowers, the strangely thriving ecosystem. Oh, and it’s home to the northernmost active volcano on earth. So we sailed there because, of course, we wanted to ski it. Two days took too long morphing into five, as the sailboat floated up and down, back and forth, putting me into the deepest coma of seasickness. When my feet touched the volcanic soil I again nearly vomited, knowing that in a couple of short days, I’d have to go through that again. There’s no alternative—no airport, no other boats, nothing. I arrived on the only boat in the world with a commercial permit to camp on the island, and I’d be leaving from it far too soon. But first, I had a 7500’ foot volcano to climb and ski under the Arctic’s midnight sun.” @brodyleven
