Ingólfshöfði is a nature reserve that's home to thousands of nesting sea-birds, like puffins and great skuas. This birdwatching tour was taken with the group Local Guide, which hauls people across a massive black sand beach in a hay cart to reach the cliffs where the birds live.

This sculpture was created using

sweetgrass, wild grape vines,

and reeds harvested from the

Patuxet River and woven into

various shapes. The installation

is visible from a walkway that

leads visitors to the trail and is

30 feet off the ground.

Hiker in a Icecave in Vatnajokull glacier

When I shot these photos I was guiding a tour for Isafold travel ( www.isafoldtravel.is ) with Debbie and Reuben Sloan. There is local guide ( www.localguide.is ) that specialises in these icecaves.

Taken in May 2006. We stopped walking up the mountain for the night. Our hiking guides take the time to prepare a couple chickens for dinner in the local/regional cooking style over a pit fire (with the feathers on).

As part of the cooking, the feathers are burnt off, instead of defeathering before cooking.

Since this is a national park, very few have the privilege to use wood in the park.

I think that the indigenous peoples are allowed sparingly to use the wood in the

small cooking fires.
