Midnight Sun
21 hours of light.Zero darkness.
Between June 16 and 30, the sun never truly sets in Iceland. At 2 a.m. there's still enough light to photograph waterfalls. At 4 a.m. the sky turns golden. This is the other half of the Icelandic calendar — the one that repays, hour by hour, every dark winter night.
The Iceland you knew was extraordinary.The Iceland you haven't seen yet might surprise you even more.
