    80 Senses #39… Sea air and sulphur, Snæfellsnes Peninsula

     

    The Snæfellsnes Peninsula, jutting into the North Atlantic, is quintessential Iceland - starkly beautiful, with dramatic coastline, moss-covered lava fields and a brooding volcano sitting at its western tip.

    There’s more than a touch of the mystical about the place; a fact not missed by the authors of the epic medieval Norse Sagas, or Jules Verne, who had his classic ‘Journey to the Centre of the Earth’ begin with a descent into the crater of Snæfellsjökull volcano itself.
