Maybe you have already had the pleasure of driving along the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and enjoyed the majestic view of Snæfellsjökull glacier. But have you seen it from the air? Our guide George took this beautiful photo on a winter day, when the sun is low and the light is golden. We love seeing all the textures of the lava flows and rock formations, how incredible does it look?
