In South Iceland I

When the weather is good, even on the darkest of days, the country welcomes you; as Icelandic Times / Land & Saga found out, on their trip to South Iceland. Here are three photo series where the light plays a role. Here is photo series number one, which is the volcanoes, but South Iceland has some of the greatest volcanic activity in the country, and many of our largest and most famous volcanoes are located in the quadrant.
