Pics of the Week: Iceland

September 26, 2014 Sacha Mlynek

When you’re in Iceland, you get to redefine your understanding of landscape. It’s as though a highlighter marker has drawn a line through everything we know of nature. The greens are greener, the waterfalls even more powerful. Night is blacker for when the northern lights appear. Come and see what we mean as we feature this craggy island on Pics of the Week.
