Video from backcountry skiing in Iceland

Here is a great video done by Jean Boutin, a professional videographer from Canada when he came with us for a skiing trip last spring. We spent the days touring over the mountains between fjords and each night was in a new anchorage. That´s the way life should be...

Sælir drengir.

Magnað vídeó, ég má nú til með að fara að drullast í aðra ferð með ykkur, þó ekki væri nema til að tryggja að það yrði smá hliðarrennsli í næstu mynd ;)

Þetta er hrikalega flott ... hvernig má enda annað vera með svona aðstæður í bæjarfætinum?
Hvað um að hefja sísonið með siglingu norður í Eyjafjörð í tengslum við Telemarkfestivalið um miðjan mars?
Þar eru ónumin svæði við ströndina auk þess sem þar verða einhverjir tugir telemarkara og fjallaskíðafanta sem gæfu annað lungað fyrir túr á framandi slóðir.

Our Adventures

General Information

Miscellaneous

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.
