🇮🇸 The Island Where Puffins Outnumber People by ~ 500:1

From volcanic hiking trails to stunning coastal views, very corner of the Westman Islands is spectacular:

📍 Heimaey, the only inhabited island: Walk among hundreds of nesting puffins (May-August, peak June-July)

📍 Stand where Eldfell volcano split the town in 1973, and see a house frozen in time at Eldheimar Museum

📍 Spot belugas at the Sanctuary, whales & puffins from shore or boat tours

📍Join the legendary Puffin Patrol, where locals rescue pufflings lost in town

Lake Mývatn is one of Iceland's most magical aurora hotspots 😍

Dark sky and minimal light pollution create the perfect stage for the Northern Lights to dance above the lake. Between late August and mid-April, you'll have long, clear nights that dramatically boost your chances of witnessing this magical show.

Share this video to the person you're dreaming of an aurora adventure with!

Meet Iceland's only native land mammal...
A cute arctic fox cub practicing model pose 😍 Which angle is your favourite?1 or 2?

ℹ️Arctic foxes are found island‑wide, they're most easily seen where seabirds abound along the coast. Inland populations hinge more on ptarmigan, and their sightings are harder to predict.

🇮🇸 Iceland votes TODAY in a landmark referendum on restarting EU membership talks, polls show a razor-thin race.
A “Yes” reopens negotiations with Brussels; a “No” could end EU hopes for a generation.

Key issues: fishing rights, sovereignty, cost of living, and security in a changing Arctic.

Results expected late tonight, what’s your take?

You know that moment of a hike when you just stop and stare? Landmannalaugar is basically one long moment like that...

Colorful rhyolite mountains in Landmannalaugar get their pink, yellow, green, and purple hues from silica-rich volcanic rock and geothermal activity. The area is part of the active 📍Torfajökull volcanic system.

It's so amazing to be surrounded by landscapes as alive as this!😍📸

Orcas hunting for herring offshore, while puffins nest on the cliffs above:

From June to August, killer whales track the Icelandic summer-spawning herring into these waters and puffins return to nest in borrows forming the world's biggest Atlantic puffin colony.

A perfect photo taken in 📍Vestmannaeyjar this summer.😍How amazing it is to see both stars in one frame! 📸

When Iceland split open in 2023

📍Little Hrútur eruption, in Reykjanes Peninsula

Happened in July 2023 as part of the renewed Fagradalsfjall volcanic system, producing a fissure eruption with lava fountains, gas emissions and rapid changes to the landscape.

Beyond the visual impact, the eruption gave scientists data on lava discharge, and magma movement beneath Reykjanes peninsula.

Would you witness such event at only few km away?📸🌋
