The fire, frost and water symbolized by the red, white and blue of Iceland's flag are manifested by the ice and snow of its glaciers, the hot mud pools, geysers and glowing lava flows in the country's volcanic regions. The island's settlement dates back to 874 when a Norwegian named Ingolf Arnarson arrived at present-day Reykjavik. In 930, the settlers formed a legislature, the Alting, which was the beginning of the Commonwealth of Iceland. From the 10th to the 14th centuries, Iceland developed a literary form, the Icelandic Saga, which spread throughout the Nordic culture and into the English and German languages. It was used to spin stories of the gods, record historic events and glorify heroes. As Iceland's capital and main center of the country's population, the city of Reykjavik is a fascinating blend of the traditional and modernism. Just as Iceland is a unique country – rugged and remote, yet technically advanced and enjoying Nordic standards of affluence – Reykjavik is a highly unusual capital city. It dominates the life of Iceland in almost every way. More than half of the country's total population of 270,000 is living in and around the capital, and the economy of the entire nation depends on Reykjavik. Nearly 60 percent of Iceland's imports are received and distributed, and 40 percent of the country's exports are loaded for shipment via the port of Reykjavik. It is also the headquarters of what is probably the world's most advanced seafood industry, which counts for Iceland's number one export.

A grand landscape of mountains, rivers and fjord-like inlets and a chilly climate made the Vikings feel right at home when they landed on Newfoundland around 1000 AD. The island, together with Labrador, the northern mainland portion of the province, is Atlantic Canada's largest province. It is a rugged wilderness of raw, natural beauty where people live to a large extent by what the sea provides. Newfoundland is also Canada's youngest province and England's oldest overseas colony. For outdoor enthusiasts, Newfoundland is the best of what Canada has to offer. The wildlife is plentiful, including herds of caribou and more moose than anywhere else in Canada. There are rivers of trout and spawning salmon; seals and whales roam the waters offshore; bird sanctuaries dot isolated areas. In addition, the area grows an infinite variety of berries that may well be the juiciest in the world. Located on the western side of the island, Corner Brook is the province's second-largest city, where 30,000 "Newfies" live and earn their livelihood primarily at the local pulp and paper mill, once the world's largest. Out in the bay, you can see big log booms waiting to be processed. The town itself offers such historic sites as the Captain Cook Monument, dedicated to the famous explorer and surveyor who charted and surveyed the entire coast of Newfoundland from 1762 to 1767.

For centuries, a native Iroquois village occupied the cliff-top site of what is now Quebec City. The first permanent European settlement began in 1608 when Samuel de Champlain established a fur trading post. By 1663, New France had become a royal province, administered by a council appointed directly by the crown and answerable to the king's council in France. Long-brewing European struggles between England and France spilled over into the colonies, prompting the construction of Quebec's formidable fortifications. The Seven Years War put an end to French reign and left the city in English hands. The English successfully warded off an American attack in 1775, and for the next century Quebec quietly earned its livelihood as a center for shipbuilding and timber trade. By 1840, when it was declared the provincial capital of Lower Canada, the accessible supplies of timber had run out. The final blow came with the appearance of steamships that could travel as far as Montreal, while sailing ships found it difficult to proceed beyond Quebec City. Losing its importance as a major port, the city experienced a decline but remained a center of small industry and local government. Later years saw a tremendous rise as tourism made use of Quebec's fantastic location and appearance. Being Canada's most historic city and the only walled city in North America earned it the classification of World Heritage Treasure by UNESCO in 1985. Today, the visitor is greeted by an authentic, profoundly French city, where 95% of its half million people are French-speaking. Both parts of the city - Haute-Ville and Basse-Ville (Upper and Lower Town) - feature winding, cobbled streets flanked by 17th- and 18th-century stone houses and churches, graceful parks and squares and countless monuments. Croissants and steaming cups of coffee at sidewalk cafés conjure images and aromas of Paris. Great emphasis has been placed on Quebec nationalism; as a result the city has become a symbol of the glory of French heritage. The motto "Je me souviens" (I remember) is inscribed above the entrance to the Parliament Building and on the license plates of Quebec cars. As you come ashore, endless pleasures await you in this marvelous city.

Situated at the very tip of the Gaspé Peninsula at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River, Gaspé offers a splendid variety of coastal landscapes and natural vistas. Here the coastline marks a major indentation creating the beautiful Bay of Gaspé, which comes inland for some 21 miles. This bay was long inhabited by the Indians of the sea, the Micmacs. In 1534 the French explorer Jacques Cartier arrived and, in the name of the king of France, he officially took possession of this new land that was to become Canada. During the next four centuries, Gaspé became the hub of the peninsula. Important fisheries of dried, salted cod exported mostly to Europe developed, and was the livelihood of nearly everyone. People from Europe and loyalists from the New England states came to settle here. Some of the latter were whale hunters who carried on their activities in these whale-rich waters during the 19th century. The peninsula's interior is dominated by a chain of mountains and rolling highlands, which offer beautiful landscapes of forested hills, deep ravines and craggy cliffs tumbling down to the coast. There are two outstanding national parks: Parc de la Gaspésie in the north of the peninsula and Forillon National Park, considered the jewel of the Gaspé. In addition to natural wonders, Gaspé also delights visitors with attractions of historic and spiritual interest, including the Jacques Cartier Monument, the Micmac Interpretation Center and the Shrine of Our Lady of Sorrows, a church and pilgrimage center since 1940.

Sydney is the heart of New South Wales and the state's capital. A bustling centre for industry and business and a major world port, it boasts 3.5 million inhabitants. Spreading over some 670 square miles (1,735 square km), the city seems to stretch as far as the eye can see to the west, north and south. Where Sydney's metropolitan area ends, the wide-open bush of New South Wales begins. Sydney is located roughly the same distance from the equator as San Diego, California, and enjoys an equally superb sunny climate. Its beautiful harbour is studded with bays and inlets and crowned by the billowing sails of the incomparable Opera House.

The city comprises the central island of Manhattan along with four other boroughs: Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. To many, Manhattan is New York. The 22-square-mile island is divided into the three districts of Downtown, Midtown and Upper Manhattan. There are countless museums, theaters, restaurants and parks. Many residents never get to see it all in a lifetime, so don't expect to take it all in during one visit.
