Back in Greenland

Siggi is on a trip in Greenland with some hardy Icelanders that don´t let the remains of hurricane Ike change their plans. They left Isafjordur on Monday morning and made it to Mikis Fjord on the East coast about 30 hours later. The sailing went well and the weather in Greenland is much better than in Iceland where roads have flooded and trampolins and barbecues have got airborne! The group is going to use the next couple of days exploring the surroundings, go kayaking, fishing for trout and maybe scramble up some mountains.

The plan is to return to Isafjordur on Saturday depending on the forecast.

Það verður gaman þegar skútan kemur afttur til Íslands. Spurning hvort Þorskafjarðarheiðin verður fær fyrir þá sem keyra suður.

Welcome to the website for Borea Adventures, Iceland, your number one stop for Arctic adventures in high latitudes. We provide great adventures and expeditions in Iceland, Greenland, East Greenland, Jan Mayen and Svalbard (Spitzbergen), mainly using our spacious yacht, the Aurora. Our philosophy is to make our trips as silent as possible where we minimize the use of motorized power and encourage physical activities, whether sea kayaking, climbing, sailing, walking and hiking, wildlife, ski touring and backcountry skiing for beginners, experts and people of all ages. The North Atlantic is our playground and we offer scheduled trips for individuals and groups as well as customized itineraries and charter for groups. We travel in harmony with the wildlife of the area: Arctic Foxes, Birds, Seals, Whales and Polar Bears. Aurora is a sturdy expedition yacht and was raced four times around the globe as part of the Clipper Round the World yacht race under the ownership of Sir Robin Knox-Johnston. She gives us a great opportunity to provide Arctic adventures in areas that are hard to reach otherwise. We call her our floating basecamp. Our name is derived from Greek mythology where Boreas was the god of the north wind. Aurora on the other hand was the Roman rosy-fingered goddess of dawn. Aurora Borealis is a name for the Northern lights which are common in our area. As we humans have proven through the decades, names can be hard to remember. Especially if a bit of alcohol gets passed around the galley too many times! You might spell our name Boreal Adventures, Borial Adventures, Borea Adventrues and Borealis Adventures. Thank you for visiting Borea Adventures.
