... we move from our accommodation at Hella (pronounced 'Hetla') to our accommodation at Skalinn (pronounced Scowlin). I took this photo in the first week of August 2004 (about 9.30pm) from a spot about 500metres away from Skalinn. This is the sort of view we will get as we look southwards towards the Westman Islands. What is remarkable is how close they seem despite being 30 kms away! This is due to the clarity of the air and the fact that the sandur ( flat coastal plain - see previous posting on big flat bits!) is so featureless.
There is lots of good geography in this view but I'll spare you that for now!!
