Ok, was wondering how obnoxious I would be for saying its actually Vík í Mýrdal. But then I see someone writing it as Vic. Our towns are not named after italian gangsters.

Beautiful!

On mobile it literally might be loading at 144p at best

This looks like where one eyed willy sailed his ship away

This is a great shot. I spent two days trying to get a decent shot of the trolls and this blows mine away.

It's an amazing spot. Was near the opening scene of one of the Mission Impossible movies and the last Alien movie (Covenant).

Unreal!

What is the dark stuff - barnacles? Or some sort of vegetation that only likes it in that narrow strip close to the ocean?

Jumping between rock towers is actually something some climbers do for fun. (Not me!)

I loved climbing there, because there were so many natural hand grips and little holes to stick feet into. And the rock is soft. Much unlike the nasty finger-eating granite I climbed in Joshua Tree in later years.

I went to Vik a few years back. It was such a big dot on the map, I was expecting a small city. But it's so tiny, like 10 houses or so, it was kind of funny as we were not expecting that . Absolutely beautiful place, I still dream of Iceland regularly.

Wait until you get to the places with "ř" in their name. That's when the fun begins!

Amazing place

That is breathtaking. Can you hike in this area?

And why is that? There are many reasons to be against dolphin and whale slaughter, some aligning with veganism and some not.

Trying to indict me by putting my own eating habits on trial is a weak distraction. Any answer I give will result in either ”Of course, a vegan is going to be holier than thou about killing whales!” or ”So you want to protect whales, but I assume you still eat <insert animal>?”

Saying it again slowly for the contrarian chuds: there is nothing defensible about killing such intelligent animals who play such a broad and critical role in a rapidly dying ecosystem.

Absolutely stunning shot! Good work!!!

But it's exactly not exploited as a cash grab. It's non-commercial and highly regulated by the state to keep it sustainable and non-profit so as to keep with the original intent.

Hence why you see the individuals doing that one being shunted.

This commenter better be 110% vegan. Like , 'doesn't eat honey because beekeeping is slavery' vegan.

That's just it... corporations come in and exploit these traditions on an industrial scale. Don't blame insular communities for finding ways to eat. Blame the companies that turn those traditions into unsustainable cash grabs.

Great shot, tasteful editing. Well done OP
