Arctic Lavender and Peach
Iceland's south witnessed more snowfall this year than in the past five decades. On December 19th, 2022, extreme weather conditions and road closures resulted in 52 out of 70 flights being canceled at Keflavík International Airport, leaving passengers stranded at the airport. Then, on December 28th, 2022, the lowest temperature since 1918 was recorded in Reykjavík.
I specifically like the contrasts of this photo - the soft snow versus the hard rock formations of Reynisdrangar but also fact that it was freezing cold out there - yet the image still looks warm and almost like food..hence the name "Arctic Lavender and Peach".
