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

Photographer 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.
We had so much fun hiking on glaciers our first time in Iceland that we had to make sure we could do it again on our second trip. We went out with Aron from Öræfaferðir / Local Guide Travel Service again, this time for a glacier hike on the Fjallsjökull Outlet of the Vatnajökull Glacier. We would highly recommend their services! Please feel free to check out the link below for more information.

This shot was taken near the top of the glacier. To add some perspective, we asked a nearby ice climbing guide to post at the top of a formation he was having his clients climb.
Cheltenham Wetlands Park was once part of the U.S. Naval Radio Station, Cheltenham, Maryland. It was commissioned in 1939.
“The original antenna fields, comprising creosoted wood telephone poles and metal antenna towers, were located in the acreage surrounding the buildings. All metal antenna poles have been removed from the installation. Some abandoned creosoted wood poles remain in the wooded and swampy sections of the installation.
Established as a radio receiving station before World War II, the installation's mission evolved to administration during the Cold War era.”
