Dusk falls on Iceland’s Snæfellsnes Peninsula. A final relic from the world’s last ice age, this North Atlantic island nation is a world of knife-cut valleys, gargantuan fjords, monumental cliffs, black-sand beaches, thundering waterfalls and silent glaciers. Volcanic eruptions remind its residents that Iceland is still a country in the making, with changed landscapes that even Icelanders continue to discover. Photograph by Johnathan A.
