Uninhabited

Across the fjord is Iceland's northernmost peninsula which has been protected as Hornstrandir Nature Reserve since 1975, haven for Arctic fox and sea-birds. With a strong sense of remoteness, lack of infrastructure and unmatched tranquillity, to simply stand and be is a feast for the senses.

A wide photo of a landscape under grey cloud. The foreground is brown vegetation and a tarmac road is looping from lower right to centre right. Beyond it is a body of ruffled turquoise water. In the misty distance are snow-striped headlands, on the left are two mountains with a deep valley between them. The whole scene is peaceful, and calming.

Summer And Winter

Rjúkandi, a lovely and very accessible waterfall by the side of Route 1, the main ring road around the country.

A photo of a white waterfall, dropping down a honey-coloured rockface. Strong sunlight from the left is casting shadows across the multiple steps along the way down. The sky above is clear cyan.
A photo of a waterfall, dropping down an ice-covered rockface. The scene doesn't display any light source although the sky above seems to be clear cyan. Deep snow is piled up on either side of the cascade.

Clutter

Remnants of icebergs floating near the shore of the lake.

These exquisitely carved slivers of ice once fell as snowflakes,
which piled up atop a mountain,
which then became part of a glacier,
which calved into the water,
which the tides and the winds grounded here,
where it began to melt slowly
for me to find.

A photo of a water surface softly sunlit from the right, clean turquoise water with odd pieces of ice floating in it. Most of the shards are smoothly sculpted by being rolled in the water as they melted. Some are broken pieces, but even these have rounded edges. Some clear water is visible and a larger, central chunk has a small pool within its curves. Rings on the surface of the water show that it's raining gently. The ice and the water are all a gorgeous shade of cyan.
