17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Cliff Diving

The photo shows a couple of puffins cliff diving on a vulcanic beach, in Iceland, on a scenario characterized by the Vatnajokull surronded by a storm. In my opinion this picture is iconic because it represents most of the characteristic elements of Iceland, from the puffins which are fishing, to the black vulcanic beach, to the cliffs, the glaciers and the cloudy weather.
