With towering mountain ranges, deep fjords, and vast forests, Alaska supports one of the most diverse wildlife populations in the northern hemisphere. Encounters are shaped by season, location, and the natural rhythms of the landscape.

The landscapes, coasts and seas of the British Isles are host to a multitude of wildlife – both large and small – which are sure to surprise and delight.

Known as the land of ice and fire, Iceland is filled with more than 130 volcanoes, many of which are still active. Some stand tall among the mountains, while others lurk under giant glaciers. Iceland’s volcanic landscapes are as interesting and diverse as they come.

No trip to a big city is complete without diving into local history at its primary museum, and Reykjavik is no exception. With more than 3,000 items on three floors, the National Museum of Iceland explains the history of the island, from early settlements dating back to the Middle Ages to the present day. What follows is a lowdown on what to expect.

Iceland’s long summer days, mineral-rich waters and fertile coastal cliffs attract a wonderful mix of sea mammals and birdlife, all waiting to be encountered.

There are more than 10,000 waterfalls in Iceland due to the number of glaciers and the amount of rain and snow the country receives each year. One of the most impressive is the Godafoss Waterfall. Godafoss translates as "the waterfall of the gods". It may not be the country's largest, highest, or oldest waterfall, but its crystal blue hues and legends make it one of the most famous.
