Iceland & Greenland: A Nordic Discovery

Discover some of nature's wildest grandeur on an epic Iceland adventure! Escape the crowds and explore Iceland's remote regions to witness inspiring landscapes and wildlife.

Encounter rugged Arctic beauty at the edge of the Greenland ice sheet. From our luxury expedition camp, explore by boat, kayak and on foot, in a pristine wilderness where very few travelers have ever ventured.

Traveler Kristin Hansen shares her experience of visiting Greenland with Nat Hab. In this personal encounter featuring footage from the field, Kristin describes the beauty of the landscape and how meaningful it was to travel here with her mother.

One of the most isolated places on Earth, East Greenland offers a peerless Arctic adventure.  In this footage from Nat Hab's Base Camp Greenland, guests explore Sermilik Fjord by Zodiac, kayak among icebergs, and experience wild, trailless hikes.

An immersion in nature opens hearts and minds, giving us new reasons to protect the planet as we connect on a deeper level to wildlife and wild places—even as climate change promises to alter our perspective.

The Nordic island of Iceland is a rugged landscape sculpted by intense geological forces, including volcanoes, glaciers, waterfalls, geysers, and the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. Discover what makes this nature destination so special in this virtual introduction with naturalist Expedition Leader Court Whelan, Ph.D.

Join Expedition Leader and wildlife ecologist Daniel Blankenheim for a closer look at one of Iceland’s most remarkable yet underappreciated birds: the Arctic tern. While puffins may steal the spotlight, terns complete the longest annual migration of any animal, traveling from pole to pole each year. Daniel will share insights on their behavior, diet and life cycle, as well as what travelers can expect when encountering these fierce and fearless birds in Iceland. With stories from the field (including dive-bombing attacks), this webinar offers a new appreciation for this extraordinary bird.

Iceland’s isolated location and harsh environment pose unique challenges for animals seeking residency on this island at the edge of the Arctic. Expedition Leader Lianne Thompson explores how species like Arctic foxes arrived during the Ice Age via land bridges, while others, such as seabirds and marine mammals, journeyed across oceans to establish themselves in Iceland. She also explains the impact of volcanic activity, glaciation and human settlement on the island's biodiversity, from the spread of invasive species to the balance between wildlife and people.

Discover two of the North Atlantic’s most dramatic destinations on one epic adventure. Expedition Leader Lianne Thompson introduces Iceland & Greenland: A Nordic Discovery, a small-group journey showcasing volcanoes, glaciers, fjords and wildlife across both islands, including Atlantic puffins, Arctic fox, whales, seals—perhaps even the occasional polar bear! Explore Iceland’s lava-scarred landscapes and geothermal marvels, then travel to our remote Base Camp in East Greenland, where icebergs drift through deep fjords and Inuit heritage endures.
