Londrangar cliffs by YiannisPavlis

Uniquely-formed remnants of ancient basalt volcanic dikes sticking out from the sea.

Londrangar and the hill Svalthufa are the remains of a crater, which has been eroded to its present form by the sea.

The farmers in the area never made or make hay on the hill, because it is said to belong to the elves living in the area.the locations is almost always extremely windy ,that you want to secure your tripod really good and hung your camera bag underneath and still hold the camera belt ( i lost a camera from wind in Greece ) .Please Visit me on Facebook!..

Icelandic Twilight by sigurdurfbjarnason

I shot this image this summer in Snæfellsnes South West Iceland, it was such a beautiful night. I had to wade a swamp for about 2 miles to get to the right location, and it was well worth the time spent 🙂

Snæfellsjökull is a 700,000-year-old stratovolcano with a glacier covering its summit in western Iceland. The name of the mountain is actually Snæfell, but it is normally called “Snæfellsjökull” to distinguish it from two other mountains with this name. It is situated on the most western part of the Snæfellsnes peninsula in Iceland. Sometimes it may be seen from the city of Reykjavík over the bay of Faxaflói, at a distance of 120 km.

The mountain is one of the most famous sites of Iceland, primarily due to the novel Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) by Jules Verne, in which the protagonists find the entrance to a passage leading to the center of the earth on Snæfellsjökull.
