Circumnavigating Iceland with an extension to Ilulissat, Greenland
Paul Steinbok, Professor Emeritus, Surgery

In July 2024, we embarked on an unforgettable journey starting from Reykjavik, circumnavigating the breathtaking island of Iceland, and then visiting the dramatic Icefields of Ilulissat, Greenland. We experienced the stunning and sometimes otherworldly landscapes of Iceland – volcanic craters, lava fields, geothermal activity, waterfalls and glaciers. We visited small coastal villages and encountered a variety of wildlife, including a large colony of puffins. We then flew to the Inuit settlement of Ilulissat, where we visited the awe-inspiring Icefjord and sailed among its huge icebergs. This photo presentation offers a visual narrative of two of the world’s most captivating destinations.
