photos from Iceland!

Okay.  Go here to see some photos from my recent circumnavigation of Iceland.  Some of them are pretty.  Many of them involve puffins.

Puffins!

Lovely photos!! I'm terribly envious; I adore puffins and have long wanted to visit Iceland.

It looks like it must have been a fun trip!

(Did you take a cruise? If so, what cruise? If not, did you coordinate the trip on your own?)

It was a great trip - a circumnavigation of Iceland by decommissioned Russian research vessel (the Professor Multanovsky). It was an "expedition cruise," which means more birdwatching and naturalist's lectures and less sunbathing and fancy entertainment. I highly recommend it.
We signed up through the same company that my parents have use for trips to the Galapagos and Antarctica, Galapagos Travel (www.galapagostravel.com). It was a lot of fun, though cold and foggy for large stretches.

oo! Cute puffins!

The ice looks really pretty too.

I would've been chasing them with a carton of milk to see if they stay crunchy.
