Iceland...

As we descended into Iceland, all that could be seen was endless lava fields, dotted with clumps of snow. On the bus trip in it felt like another planet - the landscape was dull and empty - no trees, no colour. But it would be wrong to call Iceland ugly - it is such a beautiful country, so wild but so welcoming and safe. The weather was mostly awful while we were there but we tried to see as much as possible regardless...
