Exiting the Héðinsfjarðargöng, Iceland

The Héðinsfjarðargöng are two tunnels, about 11km in total, linking the villages of Siglufjörður and Ólafsfjörður through the mountains, saving an otherwise approximately 2 hour trip around the mountains instead. Or longer in the winter when the local roads shut at the first snow, and you have to go round route number 1.

 

I took this photo just as we neared the exit and the natural daylight contrasted sharply with the dim yellow fluorescent lighting inside the tunnel.
