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.

Under The Plume
Even though the eruption is 100km (62mi) away, the vog plume has been windblown in our direction all day
Although the sun is shining, the combination of toxic gases in the air has changed its light to sickly orange, and the clouds are strange and unusual
The steam from the #volcano is mixed with sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and many others. These filter the sunlight to produce otherworldly effects.

Troll Peninsula
February, my birthday. We spent the day on the road between Varmahlíð and Akureyri through dramatic Tröllaskagi in northern #Iceland.
2pm and we've reached Krókárdalur, a lovely river canyon with hiking trails.
2:30, wisps of cloud hiding in the folds of Kaldbaksdalur.
3pm, a farm nestled on the flanks of the wonderfully named Gloppufjall.
3:15, we reach Öxnadalur with conical Hraundrangi towering above.

Glacial River Canyon
Jökulsárgljúfur¹, the eponymous gorge in north-eastern #Iceland contains seven major waterfalls. Here, we stop by three of them.
The first in our photo visit is Hafragilsfoss, the beautiful "Buck Canyon Falls."
The second is Selfoss, a lovely horseshoe hidden in its own mists.
Finally Dettifoss, the "tumbling falls," in my opinion the most impressive waterfall in Iceland.
