    Ittoqqortoormiit

    Greenland

    

    Ittoqqortoormiit is one of Earth's most isolated settlements, a community of 350 on the shores of the world's largest fjord system in East Greenland, surrounded by cathedral-sized icebergs, muskox herds, and polar bears. Visitors should cruise Scoresby Sund's dramatic ice-filled arms, experience Inuit dog-sledding culture, and watch for polar bears on the sea ice. The brief visiting window of July through September depends entirely on ice conditions.

17. Day 17

    Reykjavik

    Iceland

    

    Reykjavik, the world's northernmost capital, distils the entire improbable beauty of Iceland into one compact, creatively charged city. The soaring basalt columns of Hallgrímskirkja dominate a skyline of primary-coloured rooftops, while the Harpa Concert Hall shimmers beside the harbour like a captured aurora. Day trips from the city unlock the Golden Circle's geysers and Geysir hot spring, the black sand beaches of Vík, and the ethereal glacier lagoon at Jökulsárlón. Geothermal pools — from the legendary Blue Lagoon to intimate neighbourhood hot pots — offer warmth year-round. June and July bring the bewitching midnight sun.
