Based in Akureyri, the ski capital of Iceland and the country’s second-largest city, the games attract some of the biggest names in winter sports and hosts events unseen anywhere else. These includes ski jumps in the shape of volcanoes, mountain top to sea skiing, Arctic horseback riding, and dog sledding championships.
Spectators can take tours in superjeeps, helicopters, snowmobiles, and green-energy powered schooner boats.
The festival runs from March 24 to April 3.
