Vestrahorn might be the most beautiful place I’ve ever wandered around with a camera.
454-meter peaks rise straight out of Iceland’s southeastern coastline, a black sand beach stretches below, and shallow tidal pools turn the whole landscape into a giant mirror when the conditions are right. It almost feels like another planet.
I remember walking around that morning completely blown away by how much variety was packed into one place. Every few hundred feet felt like a different composition.
One thing I never got during that Iceland trip was the northern lights.
Whenever I make it back, this is one of the first places I’ll return to. If the aurora decides to dance above those peaks, I can’t imagine a much better front row seat.
Until then, this morning has held up pretty well in the memory bank. 🇮🇸📸
