The first piece of Iceland I got to see... a golf court	Alex Motel cabin, near the Keflavik airport	Moss covered lava fields - looking a bit like the land of Mordor	The Svartsengi geothermal power plant near Keflavik... aka The Blue Lagoon	Silica + thermophilic bacteria and algae = turquoise waters and white rock
Wildlife in the Blue Lagoon	The Hallgrimskirkja in Reykjavik	The statue of Leifur Eiriksson, supposedly the Viking explorer who first discovered Vinland (aka North America)	Midnight in Reykjavik	Damon Albarn and Bjork's hangout
Farm	Green land	The very dramatic Skogafoss	Infinite fields of lupine	The lupine isn't native to Iceland, it was introduced by settlers and quickly took root
Don't say 'I'm in the middle of nowhere' until you've been here	Having some fun with the Yaris in the volcanic dust	Eerie rock	Unidentified bird	Rock cairns (man-made, a tradition to summon good luck on the people inhabiting this land)
The spongy, moss covered solidified lava fields	Cliffs near Eyjafjallajokull	Icelandic ponies are popular inhabitants here	Sometimes they do get excited
