Keflavik Airport. 12:30AM. 10 June 2016. |
The sun never sets on the Icelandic Empire. At least not in June. Reyjavik is just a bit below the Arctic Circle, so around the time of the summer solstice, it's never dark. Lose the illusion of a hot sun beating down on Iceland 24/7 for several weeks. It does get dusky, however.
Above is the main terminal for Reykjavik's Keflavik Airport, shot at about 12:30AM. Obviously, it is not mid-day in that picture. But but it's not night. And note the artistic rendering of a giant eagle's egg at the front. (I thought it was an olive -- one of those famous Icelandic olives -- but no it's an egg with an eglet starting to break through. Not a pimiento.)
This is the street in front of my hotel. At dawn. 1:00AM.
