Introduction
Lystigarðurinn Akureyri lies barely 100 km south of the Arctic Circle yet cultivates more than 2,000 plant species from cold-temperate and Arctic regions — among the northernmost botanic gardens on Earth. Trails wind through terraces above the fjord, summer wildflowers carpet the slopes, and locals treat it as a backyard retreat. A café and specimen house make it a gentle place to wander through the midnight-sun north.
