Vestmann Islands

Vestmannæyjar is a archipelago of 15 islands with the famous islands Heimaey and Surtsey.

Heimaey is well known from the eruption of the volcan Eldfell in 1973 who destroyed a part of the city.

Surtsey is a new born island who appeared to the surface of the ocean in 1963 and is now a scientific island to study the apparition of life on a new earth.

Such a beautiful place to spend a few days. On some of the tiny islands, you can find hunting cabins for the birds catchers.

Lundi the little puffin

Back from a little week-end with my company to the Vestmann Islands and I finally (after one year living here) had the chance to see some puffins (Lundi in icelandic and Macareux moine in french)!!

Even if they are less and less every year in Iceland due to global warming and fish species moving to other waters, they're still a beautiful emblem for Iceland!!

Driving in the lava fields

An old picture from november.
We were invited by a superjeep company for a day of driving in the beautiful Reykjanes peninsula.

Driving a big super-jeep in these lava landscapes, fluorescent green after the rain is always a great experience.
Just put a cool icelandic song and you're on!! Iceland has so many faces and the highland one is just really cool.

Before the storm

An old picture from november.
Here is the coast of Snæfellsnes peninsula and his nice volcano Snæfellsjökull (www.flickr.com/photos/blueju38/6419787651/in/set-72157622...)

With a friend, we went walking on that really savage coast. Walking in a lava field close to the ocean with these scary black clouds over the head.
Here you can understand how you can be lost in Iceland; the road is not so far away but you're just alone face to nature and realise how lonely you can be on earth...

I feel lonely these days on my little island far in the north...
