Iceland West and South

Photos from my first tour in 2017 to the island of fire and ice: Iceland. Though the fire, in this case, is the fire of the aurora borealis - the Northern Light - and not of the volcanoes.
For more photographs from Iceland visit my Iceland South and East gallery.

Regulations in Iceland say that if a horse leaves Iceland, for a competition or show or because it is sold, it can never return. Also no other kind of horses can be taken into Iceland, this to protect this unique breed. uuid="56547816-6EC0-44D2-B166-DFA80D1FAB67" id="Iceland lilleulven.com _K3_11412.dng Iceland lilleulven.com"
