Day 8 of 3 week Iceland trip, fox and puffins

As we left in the morning there were even less cars on the road than usually. In the distance I saw an animal crossing the road, and as we moved closer (very slowly) I noticed it was an Arctic fox.

We managed one picture before it went hiding again.

At Látrabjarg as we parked we saw some people lying on the ground near the cliff edge.

As we came close we noticed the Puffins, this was our first time ever. It was quite an experience. Carefully we installed ourselves on the grass and started to take pictures and shoot some film footage. It was difficult to stop photographing and filming. The Puffins were amazingly beautiful.

About the author

During summer 2016 and 2019 I visited Iceland with my wife Ditta. We traveled in our own 4x4 Toyota Hilux with camper unit. Filming above and under water is my passion, sea-life while diving, nature, travel, 4x4 driving with our Toyota Hilux with camper unit. Iceland made a very big impression and we are planning to spend more time on Iceland.In 2019 we guided a group of 8 Iceland prepared 4wd throu the Highlands tacking Froads and unmarked tracks. In 2016 I stared aerial filming with a drone, I filmed the beautiful region around my home in Holland. I started to make video clips in 2013. During time I have improved my filming and editing. I film a variety of issues underwater, on land and from the air. I try to use creative common music as much as possible.
