Iceland is renowned for its fishing villages, and Siglufjördur is one of the best. With a population of only 1,300, the town boasts an idyllic harbor, which, like those of similar towns, thrives due to the fishing industry.

Valparaíso sits on the Chilean coast, rising up from the harbor like an amphitheater.

Port Stanley, the Falkland Islands’ quaint, beloved capital, was founded in 1843 and is now the largest community in this remote territory located deep in the South Atlantic.

In this story from our Kalaallit: Portraits of Greenland series, two sisters bring ancient Inuit mask dancing to life, reconnecting with ancestral ways of understanding the world.

“I consider kayaking to be one of Greenland’s most important emblems.” From our Kalaallit: Portraits of Greenland series, a kayaker reflects on Inuit paddling traditions in a sport now adopted around the world.

The population of Svalbard is approximately 2500. Longyearbyen is the largest settlement in the islands and is also the seat of the governor. It's a colourful modern town with first-class facilities, like excellent hotels and restaurants, regular flight connections to mainland Norway, as well as an impressive range of activities to suit every traveller.
