#Gunnuhver, a #geothermal area named after a ghost named #Gunna. According to the myth I heard, Gunna had to pay back a land debt and had her precious cooking pot taken away. She got really, really angry and swore revenge. When she died, she followed through on her promise and hunted down that pot-taker. She still wasn't satisfied and killed more people until finally villagers found a way to trap her in this big, #steaming hole. #Iceland (at Iceland)

The #Birds, Iceland version. This is Hugi with #ArticTerns behind him. As our tour guide for the #volcanicpeninsula, Hugi showed us how these birds are very protective of their young and will attack the highest point of any passerby, hence the bag over his head. #Iceland #nature #IcelandisNiceland (at Iceland)

Sun voyager in  Reykjavík, Iceland. 

This sculpture honors the sun. And in Iceland, it shines bright for hours. This photo was taken around midnight. 

Iceland is full of beautiful scenery. Captured some more here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/s_e_santana/with/28524120872/

One of the highlights of my Golden Circle tour in #Iceland via @kexhostel: listening to #singer @myrra_ros sing in an awesome setting with cute #sheep included! I uploaded a longer clip of another song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U842Ed0TC1E (at Iceland)
