What stands out when you travel around the South in the rain, wind and very short sunsets? The mountains and the wind direction cause the weather to constantly change. One moment, you’re standing in a storm in the torrential rain, then 15 km / 10 minutes later, in the summer sun. During this trip, Mýrdalur / Reynisfjara was the top, hardly standing because of the stormy weather, but the experience was ten out of ten! You saw that, too, in the eyes of the tourists in the area, as they clung onto a fence pole or lay down so as not to get blown out to sea. Unforgettable experience! Here comes the third part of the Icelandic Times / Land & saga photo series as we travel in the South.
