Dyrhólaey

In front of the peninsula Dyrhólaey, there is a gigantic black arch of lava standing in the sea, which gave the peninsula its name (meaning: the hill-island with the door-hole). In the summertime, many puffins nest on the cliff faces of Dyrhólaey.

Skógafoss waterfall

The Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in the country with a width of 25 m and a drop of 60 m. Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is normally visible on sunny days.

Lens to be used there would be around 50 to 60mm so the Sigma Zoom might work out.
