The viewpoint from Trælanípa (a.k.a Slave Cliff) toward Lake Sørvágsvatn is not for those afraid of heights. The drop into the ocean is approximately 140 meters, so make sure to be careful when visiting these cliffs. If you feel brave enough to walk to the edge of the cliff, you'll be rewarded with a spectacular view of Lake Sørvágsvatn, seemingly floating above the ocean. The height difference between the ocean and the lake is approximately 35 meters.
Hi Philip,
Great image! I had to look carefully before figuring out what I was seeing. The geology of the area looks impossible! But that is generally true of a lot of Iceland. Great capture with amazing light. I love the way the light is entirely different at sea level in the two coves than at the level of the lake.
Hello Robert,
Thank you, much appreciated!
Yes, I know, it's kind of an optical illusion.
Have a great day, Philip
