Early Flight

A storm was brewing and this would be the only chance to bring in surface mail and essentials before the strong winds took hold of the entire area. It was already gusting strongly. Watching the pilots complete this landing on a small airstrip surrounded by the water of Pollurinn was tense, to say the least.

10am in mid-November and a plane is coming in to land in Akureyri, north-eastern #Iceland

A photo of a cloudy sky with snow-capped mountains in the lower part of the shot. In the top right quarter is a small aircraft, two propellers are visible. The clouds behind it are lit by the rising sun with tones of orange and yellow, and there is heavier and darker cloud behind it but most of the sky is quite clear. The mountain tops are displaying spindrift snow from the summits, a sign of strong winds.
