Iceland has been the greatest departure of what I know the world to like like by far. The topography changing from the almost martian-like landscapes, filled with volcanoes, covered in nothing but mosses and the occasional grasses, to the more sub-arctic forests and glaciers. Hot-springs galore, and waterfalls a plenty, Iceland is, in my opinion, truly one of the most unique places on earth one could visit.

The Eider duck, one of the most common in the country
The southern shores of the Reykjanesbær
