Atlantic Puffin

Iceland -16

Finally gotten around to going through my pictures from last years trip to Iceland. The first trip, we did the lap, but this time around, the focus was more on the northwest. It´s a fascinating country and impossible to take all in, in one go, so there will be more trips. The northwest has many beautiful fjords and waterfalls, and Latrabjarg. It´s a very well known bird cliff, 14 km long and 440 meters high, dropping almost vertically into the ocean. Maybe most famous because one can get so close to the Puffins, sometimes as close as 1 meter! A small selection off pictures follows.
