Rise and shine Iceland

-

Iceland is an unconventi­onal addition as it experience­s 24 hours of daylight in the summer months, thanks to its close proximity to the Arctic Circle. This doesn’t mean the sun doesn’t set, or indeed rise – here you can actually watch both, almost consecutiv­ely.

At Jokulsarlo­n Glacier Lagoon, the building-sized icebergs glisten as light from the low-lying sun bounces off their glassy exterior.

As the sun sets, sleepy seals bask in the warm air.

But within minutes, the show begins again as the sun, having temporaril­y dropped behind the distant volcanic mountains, rises again. hiddenicel­and.is
