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.

A colour photo of a landscape containing a body of water under a cloudy sky. The fjord and the browning vegetation on one bank is bathed in clear sunlight. Near the centre of the fjord is an island and a curved suspension bridge is connecting it with the road. The foreground is a steep curve of road with barriers along one side. In the distance is the shadowed flank of a mountain.

🦟 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.

Arnarfjörður, #Iceland.

A colour photo of a large, fan-shaped waterfall dropping down a sheer mountain face of grey rock. Several other drops can be seen below it. The more horizontal surfaces up the cliffside have yellowing vegetation on them along with some golden plants and moss. The sky is overcast and grey.

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...✨

Night picture showing a bus, some people who have gotten off the bus taking pictures of the sky, and a magnificent display of aurora borealis on the sky.

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.

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.

A colour photo in muted shades of blue-grey. Below heavy rain clouds, a jagged mountain range drops directly into the sea. Its flanks are stepped and ridged. Beyond that another cliff is another, hazy with tonal perspective. The ocean waves are small and reflect the grey of the sky.
