Flying across Iceland

Reykjavik was stunning in the morning sunshine – possibly more stunning than it is in July. The sun is lower and picks out the contours on the mountains. The light is richer.

I’m now waiting for a bus at Egilsstadir airport after a stunning flight over the VatnajokullGlacier. I’ve never seen anything quite like that. It’s different to the glaciers I’ve seen in the Alps, probably due to the volcanic activity around and under it.

There are huge braids of water coming off it, culminating in the big, muddy looking lakes here at Egilsstadir.

Hopefully I’ll be in Seydisfjordur by teatime, then tomorrow I need to get some concert publicity out!
