Thank you, all.
This photo was taken last September on the magnificent 'Svalvogar loop' that runs along the cliffs of Arnarfjörður and Dýrafjörður in the Westfjords. Very sad to relate,
Magnús Björnsson, who took me on the drive,
drowned 4 days ago in Aðalvík in Hornstrandir when his fishing boat capsized. His 3 companions survived. Maggi was a Westfjords man, born and raised there, and he knew every rock and bend in the area.
That's him in the first image posing in front of the house in which he was born 61 years ago, in the small fjord Reykjarfjörður. In the second image, he is on the precarious track under the Svalvogar cliffs. This section of the route was carved singlehandedly by a
stubborn Icelander who got his Caterpillar out after the govt wouldn't fund the construction (more of the Svalvogar story in a future post).
