The north of Iceland is a remote region of dramatic terrain dotted with volcanic rock formations, thermal springs and deep fjords. The gateway to this area is the small town of Akureyri, nestled on the side of the great fjord. In winter the area is surrounded by deep snow and enveloped in long nights, whilst summer offers opportunities to experience a region rich in wildlife - from the rare birdlife which comes to breed at Lake Myvatn, to Iceland's best whale-spotting at Husavik.
