About The boundaries of this area follow the centre of The Whale Bay to the peninsula Kroksfjardarnes on the Breidafiord Bay further north.  The landscape is variable, mountains, ranges, volcanoes, craters, lava fields and valleys and the second largest lowland area of the country. The area belongs to the old, western basaltic region. The geothermal activity is the greatest in the country. There are many places of interest and historical sites. The trades are based on the fisheries, fish processing, industry, farming and tourism and unemployment is at its minimum. This part of the country is the richest in Saga literature and is connected with an abundance of Sagas, such as The Book of Settlements, Gunnlaugssaga, Hardarsaga Njalssaga, Laxdaelasaga,  Egilssaga, Eyrbyggjasaga, The Greenlander Saga and the Gislasaga. The communications within the area are reliable and road #1 passes through it towards east. Recreational possibilities are quite good

well your images leave no doubt in my mind as to where I would love to visit. Your excellent portrayal of your homeland has brought for me a deep intrigue and heartfelt interest in coming over there to see for myself. The desolate feeling you manage to capture along with the deep wilderness so rare in the world these days is entrancing.
thank you for your postings, Icerock

Regards, Tim

Beautiful shot Icerock! This is magnificent. I love the Sagas and I can imagine a great duel between two warriors taking place on this plane beside the sea!
This is a favourite for me!
I presume this is not taken recently? Too early for flowering, no?
