Northern Light (Aurora Borealis) is a big attraction in the Icelandic winter, but it’s not so easy to catch. It depends on the intensity of the solar wind, the interaction between the interplanetary and the earth magnetic fields and – obviously – the  weather, all factors on which the human will has no influence whatsoever.

Turf roof houses are commonly found in small ethnic museums along the road. Nikon D750, 180 mm (80-400.0 mm ƒ/4.5-5.6) 1/500 sec ƒ/8 ISO 400

The South-West will surprise you with the glorious greens, the waterfalls and the cliffs where the birds fly.
