The majestic Snæfellsness Peninsula, known as “Iceland in miniature”, offers astounding vistas around every turn, including this west-facing shore lining a bay between ranges of green hills. Volcanic black-sand beaches ring Iceland and enrich shoreline scenes in virtually infinite ways, especially in this late-day “magic hour” of light. Less than two hundred miles in the direction of that sunset: Greenland!
