Iceland: North and South

The Sea Troll at Hvítserkur on the Vatnsnes peninsula, North-West Iceland. The troll lived in the Westfjords and travelled over to destroy the church bells at a local convent. However he got caught by the light from the sun in the early morning, turning him to stone.
The mighty and impressive Godafoss, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world.
One of the most wonderful sights of this beautiful country are the majestic Icelandic horses that you see all over the island.
Saurbæjar Church south of Akureyri, built in 1858 and one of few remaining turf-churches in Iceland.
Kirkjufellsfoss and Kirkjufell Mountain, Grundarfjörður in the west of Iceland
The impressive Skógafoss in the south of Iceland, a 60 metre drop and 25 metres wide. For this trip I was based at a nearby hotel, so was able to return to Skógafoss in the evening once all the visitors and tourist buses had returned to Reykjavik. However on reflection it would have been nice to have a figure in front of the waterfall so that you could truly appreciate it's size. 
Early evening in Vík í Mýrdal, South Iceland, and the impressive sea stacks. 
Reynisdrangar and the black sand beach at Reynisfjara with it's dramatic basalt rock formations. With no significant landmass between Antarctica and Reynisfjara, the waves have the entire length of the Atlantic Ocean to build strength.
The south of Iceland has the most amazing lava fields dotted all over the landscape.
Fjadrargljufur Canyon in the south of the island. This hidden gem is one mile long and over three hundred foot deep. 
It's always sad to see abandoned buildings. This old farm is on the road to Akureyri is in a stunning location the north of Iceland.
