Iceland is a land of far flung peninsulas and, at least in the summer, almost 24 hours of light. Large waterfalls dot the landscape and there seems to be more sheep than people. But the most moving experience was traversing across Iceland's glaciers and seeing firsthand the effects of global warming as giants slabs of ice break off those glaciers every day into a nearby lagoon, to float to the sea where they get destroyed by wave, sun and salt, finally getting deposited on so-called Diamond Beach for their final death.
