Summer Itinerary

 

A trip to a wild and obscure region of Iceland. The oldest part of this rather young island has been shaped by the erosion of the ice that has created the innumerable multitude of fjords that furrow it. In this area nature reigns supreme and men have had to adapt to its rhythms and live in harmony with it in order to survive. Fishing villages, ocean-ward roads, thermal springs and chance encounters with the shy arctic fox make this trip an exciting experience in remote and silent places for any avid photographer.
