Djúpivogur Harbour - East Iceland

On Iceland's east coast, the little harbor of Djúpivogur sits beneath Búlandstindur, a pyramid-shaped mountain about 3,500 feet (1,069 m) high that stays snowy for much of the year.

On a calm day the whole scene, peak and fishing boats included, is mirrored in the still water. Djúpivogur is one of the oldest trading posts in Iceland, and these days it's a quiet stop on the Ring Road.

Summer brings nearly endless daylight, along with Arctic terns and eider ducks that nest along this stretch of coast, and the terns are famous for dive-bombing anyone who wanders too close to their nests. In winter the hills turn white.

Did You Know? The village is home to an outdoor artwork of 34 giant granite eggs, one for each bird species that nests in the area.
