Held In Suspense
The bridge across Eyjasund touches the island of Hrútey on one side and the wonderfully named Langitangi on the other.
We stopped on the steep flank of Starvatnsháls to admire its curve in the late September sunshine.

🦟 Iceland reports the presence of mosquitoes for the first time, as climate warms / NPR
｢ Though they sting, the institute said they don't carry known infections in those areas. One study from 2017 said Culiseta annulata are often "regarded as a biting nuisance, rather than a deadly foe." ｣

Thunderous
The gorgeous bridal veil of Dynjandi.
100m/328ft high, 30m/98ft wide at the crest and 60m/197ft at the base. Accompanied by six other lovely cascades below, this truly is the Jewel of the Westfjords.
The climb to the top is 200m/656ft and I didn't make it all the way. I'd been determined that I would but I disappointed myself. I saw a lot of beauty that day, though, so I was content.

What is the absolute worst thing human beings have enabled in the modern era?
No, no, forget the usual topics
It is this:
😱 🦟
" #Mosquitoes have arrived in #Iceland
Three #mosquitos were found in Kjós recently. This has been confirmed by the Icelandic Institute of Natural History. This is the first time that the flies have been found on Icelandic soil."

Still daydreaming about the spectacular display of Northern Lights we were lucky to catch this past weekend while we were on a team building trip...✨

Another video from our pit stop during the @Vivaldi outing. Just a note, this shows only a small part of the lights. The light bands were stretching across the sky, but it is hard to get a good video looking straight up, so I chose one part of the sky with a little ground as contrast.
The view just outside my place a few hours ago

Uninhabited
The view from Bolafjall.
At 634m (2080ft) above sea level are a radar station operated by the Icelandic Coast Guard and a sturdy viewing platform with spectacular views across Ísafjarðardjúp and Jökulfirðir.
Hornstrandir covers 580km² (224mi²) of tundra, cliffs, flowering fields and ice. Uninhabited since the 1950s, a reserve was established in 1975.
Hunting is banned, it's left alone for seabirds and Arctic foxes.
