This is Valahnúkamöl near Raykjaness on the Coast of Iceland, the gnarly sea stacks somehow survive here despite getting absolutely hammered by some of the most powerful weather I've ever experienced anywhere.

A year or so I came here and it was only just possible to get out of the car without having the doors ripped off by the wind, so I wasn't able to get any images, in fact standing up was a challenge in itself!!

So for a year it's bothered me as I was blown away (pardon the pun) by the place, this time we visited finally on the last day of the trip and although there was a windy it wasn't anywhere near as bad as the last visit so the tripod could go up, despite it making your eyes pour everytime you looked through the viewfinder it was still shootable so another location was finally ticked off, for a few brief moments a couple stood on the edge of the sea cliff taking a selfie (brave) and I was in a bit of a panic to make sure I got them in my shot for the scale.
