Lonely Mountains of Iceland
The Lonely Mountain of Iceland – Vestrahorn
With its two distinctive peaks, Vestrahorn stands apart from the nearby mountains of Vatnajoull National Park. I chose a time when the light was low on the horizon to highlight both the mountain’s rugged shape and the wonderful colors in the scene. Unlike most of Iceland, these mountain rocks are rich in both iron and magnesium, giving them their trademark greenish-black color. They blend perfectly with the neighboring black sand beaches. With the mountain’s isolation, dark beaches, ocean shoreline, and tidal pools it can give you the feeling of standing on the edge of the world.
