4 VESTNORDEN SPECIAL PROMOTION Unspoiled, Unexplored, Unbelievable In the middle of the North Atlantic, missing from many world maps, are the small and sparkling Faroe Islands with their tall grass-covered mountains, deep fjords, long summer nights, vibrant culture and welcoming people. TRENDY MEETS TRADITION Often described as the unknown jewel in the North Atlantic Ocean, most people have never heard about the Faroe Islands. But their small size (1,400 square km; 540 square miles) is actually an advantage because it allows you to experience a lot in a relatively short period of time. Besides, even though the archipelago s 18 islands are small, their landscape is diverse; a completely new view opens up at every turn. The Faroe Islands are characterized by fresh air, green grass (that even grows on the roofs of people s houses), grazing sheep, dramatic landscapes with steep mountains and deep fjords, rich bird life and peaceful villages with colorful houses. In spite of their miniscule population of 50,000 people, the Faroe Islands boast a modern society in close contact with its roots and traditions. There is also the contrast between life in the capital of Tórshavn the smallest capital in the world and the rural life in the islands villages. In Tórshavn there are 4-star hotels, excellent restaurants serving local food, like fish, lamb, birds, seafood and herbs, a thriving music scene with live concerts and design shops that sell products rooted in traditional Faroese knitting by internationally-acclaimed local designers. 4 ICELAND REVIEW

5 SPECIAL PROMOTION VESTNORDEN ENJOYING NATURE The island of Mykines is a true bird watcher s paradise with thousands of puffins, gannets, guillemots and other seabirds. It s possible to get quite close to the birds either by boat on an excursion along and under the majestic bird cliffs, or by walking in nature. You don t have to go far to experience unspoiled nature. There s nothing like a hiking trip in beautiful and dramatic landscapes where you can enjoy the tranquility and breathe in the fresh air. The routes will take you to places connected to Faroese history and traditions; the Faroe Islands have many paths which are ancient communication routes between villages. Climbing to the top of a mountain on a beautiful sunny day is an exceptional feeling that you never get tired of. The panoramic view of the ocean, surrounding mountains and nearby islands is truly rewarding. THE TRAVELER S CHOICE In 2010, National Geographic Traveler summoned over 500 travel experts to find the best island community in the world. Of the 111 different islands rated, the Faroe Islands topped the list as the number one island destination in the world. This year, readers of National Geographic Traveler made the Faroe Islands their pick for Best Trips Easily accessible, the Faroe Islands have a well-developed infrastructure with good road connections, subsea tunnels and bridges tying the main islands together, and helicopters and boats that serve the outer-lying islands. The islands are only two hours away by plane from continental Europe, one hour from Iceland, and can also be reached by ferry from Denmark or Iceland. Go to visitfaroeislands.com to feel inspired.

Guests taking this route are served by the company s flagship, an Airbus A330 named Norsaq.

The Many Colors of the Arctic While in Greenland, make sure to experience the vibrant culture of Nuuk. Home to the world s largest icecap outside the Polar Regions, Greenland s breathtaking landscape is dominated by glaciers. The people of Greenland have learned to live in harmony with their harsh environment and their unique culture is deeply connected with nature. But there s more to Greenland than ice and snow. THE NATION S BEATING HEART PHOTO COURTESY OF THE NATIONAL THEATRE. Being home to approximately 17,000 of Greenland s 56,300 inhabitants, Nuuk is the country s largest city, but one of the world s smallest capitals by population. Established in 1728, Nuuk is also Greenland s oldest city, serving as its cultural, economic and political center. Located just below the Arctic Circle, Nuuk basks in the glory of the midnight sun during the summer and is graced by dazzling northern lights in winter. With untouched wilderness in its backyard, it s an excellent base for exploring the world s largest island. But before heading out on one of the many tours available from Greenland s capital hiking, skiing, snowboarding, whale watching, hunting, fishing, or sailing among the icebergs make sure to explore Nuuk, too. Take a helicopter tour and marvel at the size and beauty of Nuuk s complex fjord system, before enjoying a glass of champagne at the top of the Sermitsiaq glacier. Or catch a glimpse of domestic life in Greenland and get to know the locals through kaffemik (literally: coffee, please coffee and sweet treats) in a private home. MULTI-COLORED, MULTICULTURAL CITY Nuuk is a small city with a big personality, a place where the traditional, the new, the edgy, and the beautiful all coexist side by side. When picturing Nuuk, many people think of the city s rainbow-hued houses, and so its new slogan, Colourful Nuuk, certainly seems fitting. But it s not just the surroundings that are colorful it s also the city s inhabitants. Multicultural, diverse, and trendsetting, Nuuk is a vibrant melting pot, brimming with life. The capital is home to several museums, displaying Greenland s contemporary art, cultural heritage and archaeological artifacts, as well as a wide variety of cafés and restaurants. Don t miss out on a taste of fantastic Nordic cuisine, traditional Greenlandic dishes made with local ingredients and cooked in a modern style. Or, you can join the Fish&Dish day excursion to Qooqqut that begins with sea angling and ends with a delicious, fresh-caught meal of cod and redfish. Locals take pride in their warm hospitality, and so whatever adventures you choose, you will certainly be made to feel welcome in Nuuk s vibrant community. colourfulnuuk.com PHOTO COURTESY OF THE NATIONAL THEATRE. 12 ICELAND REVIEW

14 VESTNORDEN SPECIAL PROMOTION Adventures of a Lifetime Lax-á Angling Club, one of the most experienced hunting and fishing outfitters in the world, organizes outdoor adventure tours in Iceland, Greenland and beyond.

The camp serves as a base for Lax-á s trips, organized in cooperation with the Greenland Caribou Company, which holds the exclusive hunting and fishing rights to 50,000 hectares (124,000 acres) in the area.

The following days are spent fishing for Arctic char in lakes and rivers near the camp, hunting for big game and sea angling for cod, bullhead and flounder.

15 SPECIAL PROMOTION VESTNORDEN Minutes to the Middle of Nowhere Air Zafari takes you on an aerial adventure in Greenland. In a country like Greenland, where no roads traverse the wilderness, aerial transportation is an integral part of life. However, aerial sightseeing or flightseeing is still relatively new in Greenland, meaning that travelers today have unprecedented access to some of the island s most beautiful and remote areas. Founded in 2007 by husband and wife pilots Jens Ploug Larsen and Bente Biilmann Larsen, Air Zafari offers on-demand aerial tours around Greenland s magnificent fjords, towering glaciers and sprawling ice plateaus landscapes that, in many cases, can only be seen from the air. AN ARCTIC SAFARI In addition to its popular night-time urban lights tours in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Reykjavík, Iceland, Air Zafari operates nature sightseeing tours from three locations in Greenland Ilulissat and Kangerlussuaq in the west and, in the summer, Kulusuk, on Greenland s rugged east coast. Its unique outings include a Disko Bay Whale Safari and a Global Warming Glacier tour. Air Zafari is also the only company offering bespoke helicopter tours (minimum five passengers) to Sermeq Avannarleq, or Northern Glacier. This tour provides stunning views and also goes one step further the opportunity to actually stand on a glacier. You spend some time on the ground, says owner Jens Larsen. It s not just about getting from point A to point B. Some of the company s most popular tours such as the Paradise Valley and Ice Cap tour depart from Kangerlussuaq, which is just a few minutes flight to what seems, at least, to be the middle of nowhere: the Greenland Ice Sheet. This trans-coastal icescape is breathtaking for its aquamarine river valleys, looming cliffs, and ever-changing, glacier-filled bays. It s also home of astonishing variety of wildlife, including reindeer and musk ox. That s actually how we got our name, explains Jens. Flying in the valleys along the Ice Sheet is a lot like going out over the Serengeti. A MULTI-SENSORY EXPERIENCE Air Zafari offers helicopter tours by request and boasts a fleet of Partenavia P68 planes, which accommodate five people. These planes are ideal for flightseeing expeditions, as they can fly as low as helicopters and all passengers get their own window. Better yet, guests are given noise-reducing headsets through which to communicate with the pilot and to listen to music. Our focus is on interactive tours, says Jens, who believes that the best tours engage all the senses. To that end, guests are served a sweet treat before departure, while listening to a quick briefing about their destination. In the air, they can ask the pilot questions and listen to the soundtrack of their choice. We re always thinking out of the box, says Jens, and looking for new ways to engage our passengers. airzafari.com ICELAND REVIEW 15

GREAT WINTER DESTINATION Ideally located just an hour outside Reykjavík, the Settlement Centre is open year-round even on Christmas and New Year s Days and offers a variety of Icelandic specialties on its restaurant menu, as well as a daily lunch buffet. It s a great destination for winter travelers, who can start their day with a little history and end it, if they re lucky, with a stunning view of the northern lights. landnam.is ICELAND REVIEW 17
