Iceland Aurora Photographic

One word comes to mind when you mention Látrabjarg... Puffins. although it is not the spot with the largest puffin colony, Látrabjarg has the tamest puffins. They are tame to the point where you can almost touch them. Naturally getting a good photograph of them is fairly easy, you don't even need a long lens.

The Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights is a light phenomenon that occurs as a result of solar winds reaching earth's outer atmosphere and burning different gases to give a range of different colours. The best place to see them would surely be from a very high viewpoint just outside earth's atmosphere.  Here on earth however, we need to travel to cold countries near the point where you would see the midnight sun in the summer and very short days in the winter. Iceland is one of those places. It is just touched by the Arctic circle on its very north isle of Grimsey, but most of Iceland is good for northern lights.

This place is a must on any trip to Iceland!
The glacial lagoon is now Iceland's deepest lake at a depth of 200m. The huge lake holds tonnes of ice that has broken off the Vatnjökull Glacier. It is the only place where ice actually makes it from the glacier to the open sea. The ice on this lake is 1000 years old.

If you come to Iceland, please don't spend all your time in Reykjavik! It is ok for one or two evenings, but there is so much more to Iceland. There is so much more in Iceland!
