How time flies, it's almost a year since my trip to Iceland. It was short and sweet, but as they say, everything has to come to an end before something new can start again.

While editing my photos, I found some of them where I managed to capture Arctic terns. The photos were taken near the city of Hofn along the coast, where we stopped to admire the local scenery.

To my surprise, Arctic terns appeared and flew around us, like they are demanding that I immortalise their flight in my lens.

I had read online that these birds are known mainly for their summer migration from the Arctic to Antarctica, where they enjoy the Antarctic summer. Their journey is approximately 40.000 kilometres long. What surprised me even more is that they can fly 9.000 kilometres without stopping 😮.

Thanks for reading,
