Itinerary

Day 1 – Embarkation Day, Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen
Your adventure begins when you board your ship in Longyearbyen, the island’s largest settlement. Enjoy your first view of Spitsbergen’s rugged, glacier-topped mountains, rising majestically from icy Arctic waters.
Day 2 to 3 – Exploring Spitsbergen
Largest of the Norwegian-ruled Svalbard islands, Spitsbergen is famed for its abundant wildlife and austere beauty. Here you’ll visit spectacular glacier fronts, steep-walled fjords and the tiny international research community of Ny Alesund. Wildlife-viewing opportunities include walrus, polar bear and the unique Spitsbergen reindeer. Birders will thrill to see Arctic Terns, skuas, Long-tailed Ducks, kittiwakes and Glaucous Gulls. As an added bonus, when conditions are right, you could sail within 10° of the North Pole!
Day 4 to 5 – Greenland Sea
While sailing the historic Greenland Sea, you’ll learn about the wildlife and history of Spitsbergen, your next stop. On deck you’ll learn to identify seabirds on the wing. Share photos, sip an icy cocktail in the bar – watch a movie – there are many things to do at sea.
Day 6 to 10 – Scoresbysund, Eastern Greenland
During your tour of Greenland’s remote eastern coast, you’ll enjoy sea-level Zodiac cruises and shore visits to several locations. Sail the ice edge searching for walrus and polar bear. Visit the remains of ancient Thule settlements, and keep an eye out for grazing musk oxen, because 40% of the world’s population of this fascinating mammal lives on the east coast of Greenland. Finally, sail through spectacular Scoresbysund, birthplace of many icebergs, and – some say – the most beautiful fjord system in the world.
Day 11 to 12 – At Sea in the Denmark Strait
Sail through the Denmark Strait en route to Greenland’s mysterious eastern shore. Your onboard Expedition Team keeps you informed and entertained with
presentations about area wildlife- especially the seabirds you’ll see soaring above your ship.
Day 13 – Westman Islands (Vestmannaeyjar)
Named long ago for Irishmen (Westmen) enslaved by the medieval Norse-Gaels, this small archipelago is one of Iceland’s gems. Here you’ll learn of the area’s fascinating history and famed volcanic geology while touring the town of Heimaey. There’s also a good chance you’ll spot large colonies of puffins on one of the outlying islands.
Day 14 – Disembarkation Day, Reykjavik, Iceland
We’ll say our farewell’s with a heavy heart as our adventure ends in Reykjavik, the world’s northernmost capital city.

John Paul Caponigro has done a series of interviews with the likes of Arthur Meyerson, Eric Meola, Sean Duggan and now with Seth Resnick. This fun interview is based on spontaneous answers to every question imaginable.

I would have posted each day as planned but we were shooting for 18 hours a day and didn’t always have internet. This was one of my most enjoyable workshops ever. Below is a small sampling of some of the many highlights of the trip. Already excited to return next year teaching a joint workshop with John Paul Caponigro 

Reykjanesvirkjun, geothermal power plant in the Southern Iceland.

Silica deposits create wild patterns at geothermal plant

Patterns from the deposits of minerals were incredible

Geothermal heat rising from vents

The ground was simply at bubbling array of color and steam

Hiking on the Vatnajokull Glacier was certainly a highlight

Going into an ice cave was pretty cool as well

It was more than pretty cool... It totally rocked....

There was more than landscape. There were great faces...

Amazing people......

Color everywhere

Vacant farm near Vatnajokull Glacier

Hiking on Vatnajokull Glacier was incredible. Black ice from all the ash.

Skogafoss Waterfall at sunset which was around 9PM

Still amazing light at 10PM

Black ice in the Glacier Lagoon

Taking a boat through the lagoon to the headwall of the glacier was certainly another highlight

At the headwall of the glacier we found this incredible blue iceberg

Lighting icebergs with flashlights at the Lagoon

Reds and blacks on the glacier

Bubbling mud at the moment it the bubble breaks

Cracked earth in Hverageroi

Siggy the best driver in the universe taking a smoke break

Moonrise at the Glacier Lagoon

Sunset at the Glacier Lagoon

The best highlight of the trip was climbing Eyjafjallajokull to the site of the eruption. At the based the water was filled with mineral deposits.

A small 3 kilometer climb and the group did great. At the base of the volcano the ice was beyond amazing

Mud on ash at the volcano

At the summit the rocks were hot and the colors were my favorite pallet

Molten lava at 700 degrees at the summit

Yes it was hot enough to cook and eat hot dogs at the summit

ding in the very place that I photographed last year exploding with lava

Realizing that it is still very hot... Burnt a hole through my shoe and my pants melted

These are but a small sampling of my images from an incredible week. My class put in long long hours and on one night we got back at 1 AM and every single person in the class stayed up in the lobby drinking a bit of vodka until 4 AM working on images. Thanks to Einar and Ragnar for all their hard work and thanks to all my students for inspiration and enjoyment.

Next workshop is with Greg Gorman and it too will be Amazing…
