Soon the bird sanctuaries will be off limits for the rest of the year to anyone except birds. Best get your ‘dunes in a distance’ fix now. But do not enter the dunes. You cannot get to the sea and you will get lost. This is a landscape for contemplation only. Please.

It’s not easy to leave Iceland. Usually you just wash up again on the beach!

Heverarönd
Do let it!

(Beauty can also be a bridge.)
