Tag: Stillness
Our favorite weather is undeniably stillness without rain. It is extremely pleasant to walk when the weather is calm and the landscape and surrounding environment have a wonderful soft touch. It makes no difference whether the stillness is in the summer, autumn, winter, or spring; it is always fascinating. In the winter, there is a respite from blizzards and strong winds. The experience is incredible when the sea is smooth and the white mountains are reflected in the fjords, and it is a lot of fun to capture the moments digitally or mentally.
Some places in Iceland are known for their stillness, such as Ísafjörður, Siglufjörður, Bitrufjörður in Strandir, Seyðisfjörður in the Eastfjords and Arnarfjörður in the Westfjords. This is not an exhaustive list, but it gives you a good idea of where you can expect to find peace and quiet in Iceland. Fjords with protection from the north and south are more likely to be calm.
