A rare blue sky in Iceland - Heimaklettur, Westmann Islands. It is partly the ominous landscapes, and partly how remote and untouched everything feels that makes Iceland feel like it must be the last place on Earth. I have never seen a place look as beautiful in overcast weather as Iceland does. Threatening clouds and a dark and stormy sky seem appropriate for a land covered in lunar-esque rocks...

Hi! We are Australians living in Prague, having moved from Sydney at the start of 2007. We've travelled as much as possible and this is a record of our adventures, and our attempt to keep in touch with friends back in Australia. It's fair to say that these experiences have really changed how we look at the world and life. Since starting this adventure we've added a 3rd member to our travelling party (little D), so the intensity of our travels has dropped off somewhat. Still we love exploring this incredible world when we get the opportunity. If you want to receive an email when we publis... full info

Great pictures - glad Dahlia is rugged up!
How do you do the big panoramic pictures at the top of the screen each time?

Thanks :) In the past we have taken the picture from a distance (with extra space at top and bottom) and cropped it down. This time I took about 6 photos and stitched them together using the digital download program.

Beautiful!
Incredible pictures. I stumbled upon an aerial shot recently of an obscure island, all I had was that it was off Heimaey. Obsessed with the picture, I dug and dug for ANY info on it. Eventually I came across your site, and there it is off Storhofoi! The fenceline points right to it. What is the building on that island, is it a research station or something? Amazing country, and your baby is beautifully happy. What was the temperature when you went?

Thanks for your comment. Its an incredibly beauitful country and the Westman Islands are just about the highlight. The building at Storhofoi is some sort of weather station Im pretty sure. (Its the windiest spot in Europe). When we were there (last week of August) it averaged about 12-15 degree maximum, but the cold wind was brutal! Still, totally worth it!
