Most of the time we refer to the process of travelling for leisure as ‘sightseeing’. In the case of Iceland, I’d like to propose a new term – ‘sightfeeling’. You don’t just leave Iceland with the pictures in your head, you have very strong memories of what it felt like to be there. Cold, visceral, bleak, amazing. I loved Iceland. Here are a few photos from the trip.
