Arctic circle
In 2021 we went to northern Sweden. We then went to the see the Arctic circle north of Haparanda. We took photos and posted on Facebook. Emma's brother-in-law then posted that he drives by that place twice a week. He is a truckdriver and he hauls goods from southern Sweden to the north and back every week. So much for us going to (what we thought was) exotic places. /Ake

Fantastic
A great hike.

An Epic Adventure!
Your panoramic shot is awesome and brings the readers's attention to your marvelous blog. For us, Iceland was one of those surreal countries where you see it but it still doesn't seem real at times. It is very unique and peculiar all at the same time. Wonderfully, unique. Grimsey sounds like a special place and I wish we had gone there. Bravo! I love the Arctic Terns... I'm glad you got back to city life. Puffins are amazing birds... many birds spend days, weeks and months flying at sea. You work hard and play hard. These adventures are your reward. It is hard to follow a summer trip like this one.

Next year we hopefully go to Iceland
We were supposed to have gone to Iceland in either May or June this year but work put a halt to those plans. Hopefully we will go there next year instead. Thanks for posting so many lovely photos. /Ake

Iceland
I am envious of your Iceland trip. It does look quite an adventure so far. Look forward to reading more of your blogs.

True Arctic Circle...
I wonder if tourism to Grimsby will decline in five years.

Amazing
What another amazing blog. Especially loved the photographs of the streets of Akureyi and the botanical gardens. Almost felt like I was there myself. Very well written!

Taking Time to Enjoy the Natural World
I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your exciting experiences from the rocky sea crossing from the Faroes to your landing and first forays into Iceland. In addition, the sometimes complete isolation from human contact in lots of places can either be wonderful in some ways or a bit scary if anything were to happen to you or your rental car! Glad you were able to fix the car yourself!! While I visited Reykjavik in 1983 during a flight layover night, I got to see more of the country in 2018 -- and wow, what a change! At that time I got to appreciate much more of the country's striking natural beauty while visiting the Snӕfellsnes Peninsula as I'm very sure you did where ever you ventured! Great, great photos!!

Faroe Islands
Another great blog with some well captured and beautiful photos. Congrats on the completing your first helicopter ride - is it like being on a plane with bad turbulence? I think it's the bumpiness and knowing I am off the ground that scares me
