Iceland

This is a selection of pictures from a short vacation in Iceland in the summer of 2008. The country is spectacular in its stark beauty - the unspoiled nature, the variety of sights, and the general uniqueness of the place. It is never crowded, no matter where you are - whether you are at the largest glacier outside of the polar regions, next to Europe's biggest waterfall, or on a lake full of floating icebergs that featured in James Bond movies. One of the most beautiful places ever - I hope to convey some of the excitment here. Enjoy the visit - and make the trip!

In the light of Iceland being very much in the news due to the latest eruption, and the cloud,I thought I would take another look at your Iceland gallery.
So glad I did.
It looks a wild and beautiful place.
