North Atlantic coast (2/8)

While on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, we took a hike along the cliffs overlooking the North Atlantic, where lava has flowed into the sea, creating many unusual volcanic formations as well as black sand. In the distance are the Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands).

Another capture of the fascinating shoreline:
