The Arctic: Reykjavik, Iceland

 After Lisbon, we departed the Silversea and flew back to Portland to attend our granddaughter's graduation from high school. Then we flew back to Iceland, to reboard the Silversea which had sailed north to Reykjavik to begin an expedition to the Arctic. The next several weeks of this blog will post photos from that expedition, beginning with scenes of Reykjavik harbor.
