Living Below the Glacier

Description

The small, charming village of Arnarstapi sits below the Snæfellsjökull glacier which covers an ancient volcano.
This summer is reportedly the first time in Iceland's history that the peak of the volcano itself became visible, due to accelerated glacier melt-off.

Nicely composed, Chris. So interesting to see. I love the stark white and red of the home ( with the details) nestled at the base of the glacier and the rolling hills. #10379300
