National Museum of Iceland and Reykjanes Peninsula

Incredible day. Extremely high winds, at times very heavy rain, but a wonderful day nonetheless as we saw extraordinary exhibits at the National Museum of Iceland and then we did a "auto-pelagic trip" around the Reykjanes Peninsula.

While updating the many videos enjoy the photos below... and the orange sign says,

"Warning! Birds on Highway!"

Indeed, we had to brake for many a life bird that was sitting in our way on the road
