Midnight Sunset

Summer time in Vesturhorn South Iceland . After a dull and grey rainy day (typical i would say ),the skies finally clear up at around 12.30 after the midnight .The mountain at Vesturhorn is one of Iceland’s few Gabbro rock mountains. Dating back 8-11M years, the site was used by the first settlers (Irish) before they were enslaved by Viking invaders (c.860). The area is best viewed from Stokksnes, drive out to the radar station and you will be surrounded by grassy sand drifts.
