Iceland in Pictures

There is nothing nicer than sitting together with friends all bundled up in a lawn chair in the middle of the Icelandic summer night and just watching the sunset/sunrise that goes on for hours without end.

Sunrise on Snæfellsjökull Glacier. Snæfellsjökull is a small but high glacier at the very tip of the Snæfellsnes peninsula on the west coast of Iceland. Many believe it has mythical powers and sometime in the 80’s odd people from all over the world flocked to it to witness an anticipated extraterrestrial landing. I guess the aliens backed off when they saw all the people.

This picture is from a cool set of photos of the sunrise on Snæfellsjökull. The pictures are taken by Gaëtan Priour a friend of my friend, María, who is on the photos. You can see many more pictures from Iceland on his photoblog.
