Mount Yasur Volcano is a wonder of nature - an opportunity to get up close and personal with a very active volcano. It is a thrilling experience - visceral and surreal. But despite its accessibility, it is not yet well visited, with only a small number of tourists venturing here each year. Read this article to find out how to be among the few to have experienced this amazing spectacle…
Mount Yasur Volcano, on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu, is one of the world’s most accessible active volcanos. It is an amazing natural phenomenon, awe-inspiring in its power and proclivity, and yet somehow (fortuitously) it has not yet become the tourist mecca that it deserves to be.

The tropical islands of the Pacific have long been a magnet for travellers – swaying coconut palms, aquamarine lagoons, balmy weather and chic beachside resorts. Trying to choose between them is an exercise in pleasant futility – all are enticing and appeal in a multitude of ways.

There’s an old traveller’s adage – “when you’ve been everywhere else, there’s always Greenland…” This may be harsh, as Greenland has always had significant appeal for those who are adventurous of heart, and has appeared on the traveller’s radar more and more in recent years. But can it appeal to those looking for luxury adventure?
An adventure in Greenland awaits, full of incredible arctic exploits – glaciers, icebergs, whalewatching and the midnight sun.
But en-route, a brief stopover in Copenhagen provides an unmissable opportunity to visit one of the most famous restaurants in the world – the iconic Noma.
Our latest adventure is focused on the remote locations of Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. But of course to get there, we are passing through the Danish capital Copenhagen, and so a suitably stylish and comfortable hotel, in a happening location of course, was on the agenda. And our choice, Hotel 71 Nyhavn located in the heart of the Nyhavn waterfront, canal and entertainment district.
We are off on another adventure, and this one is a little off the beaten path – we are heading to Greenland & The Faroe Islands…
Why Greenland? – No, we haven't been "everywhere" else. Though we are working on it!
But with its vast untouched landscapes, epic ice-cap, towering icebergs and calving glaciers, plus a smattering of truly unique lodges, it looks like an awe-inspiring destination.
And why the Faroe Islands? – because they just look amazing!

Jamtara Wilderness Camp is a luxury lodge just outside Pench National Park in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.

Pench National Park & Tiger Reserve, in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, is one of the most highly regarded national parks in India. It is the famed home to Mowgli from Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, but it is not Mowgli we have come to see – it is his arch-enemy Shere Khan, the Bengal tiger.
