Martin's TravelAwesome Photo Series #7 - Iceland One of the Most Wonderful Countries To Exist?!

in #photography7 years ago

Aaah, Iceland! The Land of Fire and Ice. Iceland is one of the few countries that has truly amazed me from start to finish. The country is one of those places that when you look out over the landscape your mouth drops open in awe. It has been rated by travelers as world's eight most beautiful country, and that might be an underestimation, in my humble opinion!

Why? Waterfalls are everywhere (!), you can scuba or snorkel between continents, you can go inside a vulcano, there are loads of exploding geysers, you can go whale watch, the sun shines at night, it is one of the best countries to view the Northern lights, and their fish soup is delicious (and I can think of many more reasons...)!

Today, enjoy a photo series I have made in Iceland during my 2-week trip in 2016.

All photography is original and mine
