Fly into Tromsø, meet the guide at the airport, and drive 1 hour (53 km) to the hotel in Sommarøy. If the aurora appears at night, it can be photographed directly outside the hotel.

Take a morning ferry across the strait to photography locations on Senja, often called 'Norway in miniature' (Devil's Teeth, the elevated road, rocky fjords, and more). Overnight at Mefjord Hotel, a 15-minute drive from Devil's Teeth, convenient for aurora photography.

Today is a road trip. Drive in the morning to the fjord town of Bjerkvik, approximately 3 hours (199 km), and have lunch there. In the afternoon, continue to Svolvær, approximately 3 hours (204 km), and photograph the harbor. Overnight in Henningsvær. If the aurora appears, photograph it directly outside the accommodation.

Photograph various viewpoints in Henningsvær in the morning. Afterwards, drive 2 hours (120 km) to Hamnøy, photographing along the way. Overnight in Hamnøy. If the aurora appears, photograph it directly outside the accommodation.

Spend the full day photographing various viewpoints in Hamnøy and Sakrisøya. Stay another night in Hamnøy. If the aurora appears, photograph it directly outside the accommodation.

Photograph various viewpoints in Reine in the morning, then visit Å at the end of the E10 highway for afternoon photography. Overnight in Å. If the aurora appears, photograph it directly outside the accommodation. (Note: Accommodation options in Å are limited. Only this hotel offers one-bedroom cabins with private bathrooms, 4 units, and two-bedroom cabins, 2 units, each with a bathroom shared by its two bedrooms.)

In the morning, drive 1 hour (56 km) to a Lofoten beach frequented by photographers. Have lunch and photograph in Svolvær at midday. In the afternoon, drive approximately 2.5–3 hours (164 km) to an Evenes Airport hotel, convenient for tomorrow's early flight to Reykjavík, Iceland.

Morning transfer to Lofoten's EVE airport. Fly from Evenes to Reykjavík, arriving at Reykjavík Airport in Iceland at 15:20. Stay at a hotel near the cathedral and photograph the cathedral.

Today we head to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, beginning our circuit of Iceland. Pass the classic Black Church, experience the peninsula known as Iceland in miniature, and photograph small seaside villages. Volcanoes, glaciers, wilderness, and fjords all come together here. Continue to Arnarstapi, a busy harbor and popular destination where unusual sea cliffs with hollow centers can be seen.

At dawn, photograph sunrise at Kirkjufell, then explore and photograph beautiful Snæfellsjökull Glacier, coastal cliffs, beaches studded with jagged rocks, long canyons, and lovely fishing villages. On the western Snæfellsnes Peninsula, dormant volcanoes and icefields stand side by side. Many of Iceland's oldest volcanoes are here. Though dormant for millennia, their well-preserved volcanic landforms vividly evoke ancient flowing lava.

After photographing Kirkjufell early in the morning, head to Reykholt to photograph Hraunfossar, then continue to Hvítserkur. Hvítserkur is a 15-meter-high basalt formation rising from fjord waters in northwestern Iceland. It formed from an ancient volcanic magma eruption. After surrounding rock was washed away by the sea, the remaining formation came to resemble a prehistoric rhinoceros. Its unusual shape appears to be an inspired masterpiece of the sea.

The Lake Mývatn area is famed for its unusual volcanic landscapes, with striking black volcanoes and jewel-colored hot springs. Must-see places include the Námaskarð geothermal area, the Skútustaðagígar pseudocraters, and Dimmuborgir's 'dark castle' lava formations. We will select characteristic volcanoes and lava landscapes, capturing the colors of this natural palette. Overnight near Goðafoss for convenient aurora photography!

In northern Iceland's wilderness, Goðafoss shines like a jewel set into the earth, linked to the land by veins of volcanic rock. Sculpted by ice and fire, this region is dotted with countless waterfalls, large and small, and winding river meanders. Every bend conceals a natural wonder that takes photographers' breath away. Iceland's northern and southern landscapes have distinctly different characteristics. Glaciers and lakes dominate the south, while volcanic terrain defines the north, with Mývatn a prime example. Temperatures here are at least 7 degrees lower than in the south. Beneath the white snow, reds, yellows, greens, and oranges remain faintly visible, seemingly random yet unified like colors on Van Gogh's palette. Overnight at a hotel in Mývatn

Stuðlagil Canyon lies in eastern Iceland's Jökuldalur, meaning 'glacial valley,' and is one of the country's newly popular attractions. Magnificent, sharply defined hexagonal basalt columns stand in orderly ranks on both sides of a rushing glacial river, creating an expansive and spectacular scene. Increasing numbers of visitors make a special journey to this lesser-known eastern Iceland location for hiking and photography.

Iceland's Bat Mountain lies between Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon on the south coast and the Eastfjords. This beautiful southeastern peak is known locally as Vestrahorn, or 'West Horn.' Because its shape resembles a bat with wings spread, it is also called Bat Mountain. An immense black-sand beach stretches beneath it, a powerful and unforgettable sight.

Rows of many-sided columns stand vertically along steep cliffs. Their appeal lies less in fanciful jagged shapes than in rich colors and natural forms. They were formed from hot magma: as lava surged to the cliff edge, it flowed rapidly downward and continued down the rock face for a prolonged period. Freezing weather cooled and solidified the molten lava quickly. Nature's careful carving produced orderly rows of columns along the cliffs, resembling Reykjavík's cathedral at first glance, hence the name Organ-Pipe Cliffs. Nature has sculpted dark, hard basalt into an exquisite organ, an astonishing sight. The organ-pipe cliffs and black beach stand together, watching over this magnificent sea.
