Icelandic Vistas and Monuments
This collection highlights the dramatic geological and artistic landmarks of East Iceland. It features the basalt column formations of Stuðlagil Canyon and Svartifoss, the jagged peaks of Vesturhorn and Eystrahorn, and glacial vistas from Sjónarnípa. Cultural sites include the resonating domes of Tvísöngur in Seyðisfjörður, the granite bird eggs of Gleðivík, and the Gigjukvisl Bridge Memorial, which preserves twisted steel remains from the 1996 glacial flood.
