Hnappavellir, Iceland. I was in Iceland last May for Puffin and landscape photography. We rented a car and drove along the Southeast coast. We stopped for the night in Hnappavellir as there was a large puffin colony nearby. To reach the colony we had to cross an incredible black sand beach and climb on top of a hill where the colony was. Once we got up the hill I looked down at the sea and beach below.
