Ring Road about 65 km west of Höfn on the south coast, in June 1997 most of the Ring Road was still not paved but looked like this, today most of it is paved. The Ring Road has also become shorter; in 1996 it was just under 1500 km, today it is only 1336 km due to shortcuts, new bridges, and tunnels.

30 islands and skerries form the archipelago of the Westman Islands off the south coast of Iceland. The last ones emerged from the sea only 5,000 years ago. In the background, the sixth largest glacier in Iceland, the Eyjafjallajökull, can be seen. In June 2010, the eruption of this volcano caused major disruptions in European air traffic. 
