Just discovered that I'd broken all the picture links here when I updated my web site a while ago. 
Sorry about that, all fixed now.

Image links repaired again ( Although they look a bit fuzzy here for some reason. For better quality you might want to look at my web site where the images are hosted )
Sorry for the break in service.

Wonderful photography, Wayland.
I was up in Iceland for a few days in mid to late March. It reminded me quite a lot of the Peak district... especially the weather.
There might only be a light scattering of snow on the ground, but all of a sudden, the wind starts blowing force 8 and whips up all the snow as if you were in the middle of a blizzard, and visibility drops to about three to five metres.
There is a website that collects data from sensors along the roads, so you can check conditions before setting out. If the wind gets too strong, I think the threshold is 20 metres per second, buses no longer run... so having your own transport can be essential if you want to see much.

There were days that we could barely stand up in the wind. We had to use the van as a wind break more than once.
It is a spectacular place though.
