This particular shot was taken from about 500 feet up the side of a mountain. My wife dearly wanted a picture of a puffin, so I climbed a "trail" up the side of this cliff to see if I could find some. It wasn't my finest hour. I saw some distant puffins, but none close enough to photograph. I had the piece of mind to snap this quick pic of the surf, though, so that if I fell on the way down, my wife would have something to show my surfing friends for my efforts!
To get here: follow Route 1 out of Reykjavik towards Vik. It's about 3 hours of difficult driving. There are many cool sights on the way; waterfalls, glaciers, cliffs, etc. North winds would be offshore. There's a campground here as well.
