A wreck of a ship, rusty orange, beached. Moody skies. And the picture is beautiful, in my opinion.
Icelandair is looking for a terrible photographer to prove that you can’t make ugly pictures of Iceland.
Let’s be honest, my pictures are a wreck.

As of 6am on Friday 13 March, Route 1 is closed at #Holtavörðuheiði, while most routes in the #Westfjords are impassable or difficult to navigate. #Súðavíkurhlíð and #Flateyrarvegur are closed due to #avalanche risk.

#Vegagerðin (#Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration) has decided to restrict the #axle load of vehicles on twelve #roads in West #Iceland and the #Westfjords because of major damage to the road surface.
About sixty people - among them, Eric #Cantona - will be working in #Hólmavík over the next month, filming a #movie based on the bizarre fact that it was legal to kill people from the #Basque Country, in the #Westfjords.
A #vote will be held soon on the #merger of #Árneshreppur and #Kaldrananeshreppur in the #Westfjords. The chair of Kaldrananeshreppur, who has served on the joint committee on the merger, says it could improve residents’ living standards.
I've just returned home after an expedition to Hornstrandir on the far north coast of Iceland to photograph the arctic foxes that call this remote part of the world, just south of the arctic circle, home.

Dynjandi is a bridal veil type of waterfall. The entire waterfall is made of several smaller falls and cascades over the basalt cliffs. Its beauty and delicacy are a deception. We were there in May and the snow melt was going strong, but the earlier winter storms and snow melt were so strong that the water and ice tore the rails and benches to pieces at a viewing area. I'll put a photo of the damage in a comment.
#Dynjandi, one of the most beautiful and powerful waterfalls of #Iceland. It is in the less visited #Westfjords section in the northwestern part of the country. More on the power of it in the ALT. #photography #Support_Public_Lands #waterfall
#Yellow #weather warnings are active now in the #Westfjords, and will become active in #Breiðafjörður later this morning.

The draft transport plan assumes that allocations for public #transport in rural areas will decrease. A manager at #Vegagerðin (#Icelandic #Road and Coastal Administration) says it is unlikely that it will improve in the #Westfjords without more #funding.
Driving through the Westfjords is beautiful as you wind in and out of the fjords. Here's a look at our drive along the south coast of the Westfjords in 2020. #Iceland #IcelandTrip #IcelandAdventure #IcelandTravel #Westfjords #RoadTrip

Have you ever driven through the Westfjords? Many of the roads are gravel and it can be a little scary, but it's also a unique place to travel. Enjoy the trip between Flókalundur and Bildudalur! #Iceland #IcelandTrip #IcelandAdventure #Wanderlust #RoadTrip #Westfjords

A narrow but tall waterfall flows down a dark, rocky slope in multiple thin streams. The water continues as a small creek through a green, grassy landscape at the bottom of the image. Above, the sky is partly cloudy with patches of blue showing through.
A little waterfall along our way in the Westfjords of Iceland
A peaceful moment to just be, listening to the gentle swirl of the water, letting nature’s small wonders fill my heart
Wishing you a new year full of quiet joys and warm moments.✨

It's #Aðfangadagur! Bjarni Snæbjörnsson is an actor, performer, singer, and writer. Here, he joins Darren to pick his favourite #festive tunes, and reflect on happy #childhood #Christmases in his home town of #Tálknafjörður, in #Iceland's #Westfjords.
Showers, sleet, #snow flurries and snowfall greet people in many places at first this morning, but precipitation will ease as the day progresses. A yellow #warning of a northerly #blizzard remains in effect in the #Westfjords, but will be lifted at 10 am.
Driving along the winding roads of the Westfjords of Iceland on a nice day makes for a spectacular roadtrip.

An Icelandic landscape with a rocky stream in the foreground flowing down to a plateau with moss. Steep, rugged mountains rise on both sides of the fjord under a cloudy, overcast sky. The terrain on the plateau is sparse and tundra-like, evoking a remote and tranquil atmosphere typical of the Westfjords region.
A quiet stop in the Westfjords, on the way to Dynjandi.
One of those little places you don't expect to linger at.
Sometimes it's the small, unplanned moments that stay with you.

Visibility will deteriorate and #transport could be disrupted tomorrow as a north-easterly #blizzard moves across the #Westfjords, #Strandir and Northwest #Iceland.

A two‑tiered waterfall tumbles down a rugged cliffside, framed by dark rocks and soft green moss. The water flows into a clear pool with turquoise water. Sparse vegetation dots the surrounding cliffs and above it all stretches a serene blue sky. Motion and stillness meet.
The mesmerizing rush of fresh, cold water and the gentle calm that only a waterfall can bring.
Moments like these stay with us, little memories that quietly linger long after.
Westfjords, Iceland

The Supreme #Court has rejected the claim of landowners in #Drangavík on the #Strandir coast in #Iceland's #Westfjords to alter #property boundaries to cover a larger area of land. The conclusion strengthens the position of the #Hvalárvirkjun power plant.
A wide Icelandic landscape with a large body of water surrounded by mountains in varying shades of grey and brown. The sky is mostly cloudy, but soft light breaks through in places, casting gentle shadows across the mountains and water. The scene feels quiet and remote, with a subtle interplay of light and darkness. The image conveys a sense of still presence, as if the light is slowly finding its way back through the clouds.
The Icelandic light knows how to find you,
even through clouds, distance and quiet moments.
A gentle reminder that darkness never lasts forever,
the light always finds its way back.
"There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in."

A small black wooden church with a red roof stands in sunlight alone in a golden Icelandic field beneath a stormy sky. Massive cliffs rise behind it, and wind bends the grass in waves — a quiet image of solitude and shelter. By Gus Martinie
