On the road to Snæfellsjökull (6)

The six images posted today were shot from the car on a trip with our friends from Reykjavik to Snæfellsjökull National Park in West Iceland. I was fascinated by the volcanic mountains, and that was mainly what we saw for the first part of the trip. The author of a book on Icelandic horses that I bought said about a particular phenomenon of the landscape that it's found in only two places: Iceland, and Mars.

A most wonderful landscape so typical for Iceland. I guess Iceland has to do a lot of effort for tourism because they still have to recover from the financial crisis they are still going through.

You're so lucky to be there, Helen! The photo options must be endless there. I wish to visit the country one day as it's not far from Finland. Enjoy the fullest and keep on posting your great images! V

EEEEK! Doors being blown off. Iceland hasn't been on my list of want-to-go places and it will remain so. I hate cold and wind!
