Iceland review - 2013, Page 35

ICELAND
Six hours and four minutes of daylight. Eighteen
hours of darkness. yet these are long days com-
pared to the northern part of the country.
When the sky is clear, the mid-winter light is so
different, soft and low, perfect for doing land-
scapes. The winter sun hanging just a few
degrees above the horizon, creating the longest
shadows. on overcast days there are no shad-
ows at all.
The smallest hill is even too high for the sun
to shine over, casting a permanent shadow
for the winter months yet to come.
