"Leiv Eiriksson"

Heading out Isafjordur.
A moment of pure excitement, and we sort of felt like the viking Leiv Eiriksson, who set sails for the unknown so long ago - and found America!
Here's Christian Krogh's famous painting (anno 1893) of that event, some 500 years before Columbus: Leiv Eiriksson discovering America
And just like Leiv, Arne points out our course - directly out to the Arctic sea, straight into the midnight sun...
Let the adventure commence!
