We're in Akureyri right now... it's June 20, 2009... It's brilliantly lit by natural light outside (12:53am local time). We're off to bird at Lake Myvatn tomorrow.
Nothing can describe our experience at the Látrabjarg bird cliffs in the West Fjords region. Nothing can describe driving there, mile after mile after mile, on single-lane gravel roads on cliffs 1,000 to 2,000 feet high with sheer straight down drops into the ocean.
There aren't any guard rails.
My hands have callouses from constantly gripping the steering wheel.
Here are some videos... I'll try to get even more uploaded for you. Fullmars, Guillemots, Black Guillemots, Black-headed Gulls, Puffins, Murres, Razorbills... the list goes on and on.
For some reason I thought the road let you off at the top of the cliffs. But instead it lets you off at the bottom! You have to climb to the top of the cliffs, and the cliffs range from 1,000 - 3,000 feet high.
