I changed planes in Helsinki and arrived first in Copenhagen. From there I crossed the strait by train and saw Malmöhus Castle and the city hall in Malmö, Sweden. Back in Copenhagen, I walked around the old observatory in the Botanical Garden and the statue of Tycho Brahe, Rosenborg Castle, the Marble Church and Nyhavn, and crossed to Iceland that night.

In Iceland I stayed in Grundarfjörður on the Snæfellsnes peninsula from December 29 to 31. I took in the view of Kirkjufell and photographed the northern lights on the peninsula on the 30th. New Year's Eve was in Reykjavik. After the New Year I headed south and saw the Seljalandsfoss waterfall and Geysir. On the 3rd I visited Grindavík on the Reykjanes peninsula and the lighthouse at Garður. On the way home I changed planes in Oslo and Helsinki.
