The incredible geology of Vestmanna Sea Cliffs
The majesty of Vestmannabjorgini (Vestmanna sea cliffs), Streymoy (Faroe Islands).
Known as the Vestmannabjorgini, these majestic sea cliffs rise up to 600 meters above the turquoise hues of the churning sea below roughly halfway between Vestmanna and Saksun, on the north side of Streymoy, Faroe Islands.
The cliffs are characterized by their numerous clefts and green blankets of luxuriant grass and mosses (sheep graze quite undisturbed on the clifftops).
The boats that sail here give an unparalleled view of the cliffs and the birds as they weave in between the numerous sea stacks and in and out the narrow straits bound by sheer rock walls and dark echoing grottoes.
These soaring cliffs provide safe nesting places during the summer months (May-August) for thousands upon thousands of seabirds, above all puffins, guillemots, razorbills and gulls.
Your rainbow panorama by Olafur ElIiasson
The fantastic skywalk art installation Your rainbow panorama by Ólafur Elíasson, ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Aarhus (Denmark).
Your rainbow panorama is a permanent work of art consisting of a circular, 150-metre-long and three metre-wide circular walkway in glass in all the colours of the spectrum. Mounted on slender columns 3.5 metres above the roof and with a diameter of 52 metres, this spectacular creation extends from one edge to the other of the facade of the cubic museum building.
The world-famous Danish-Icelandic artist, Olafur Eliasson, has created Your rainbow panorama and it was official opened in May 2011 on top of ARoS.

Stillness
Southern Alps, New Zealand.
The Southern Alps (Māori: Kā Tiritiri o te Moana) are a mountain range extending along much of the length of New Zealand’s South Island, reaching its greatest elevations near the island’s western side.
The range runs 500 km north to south. The tallest peak is Aoraki / Mount Cook, the highest point in New Zealand at 3,724 metres (12,218 ft) and there are sixteen other points that exceed 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) in height. The mountains are cut through with glacial valleys and lakes.
The Southern Alps lie along a geological plate boundary, part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, with the Pacific Plate to the southeast pushing westward and colliding with the northward-moving Indo-Australian Plate to the northwest.

Skógafoss
The spectacular Skógafoss waterfall, south-west Iceland.
Skógafoss, with a width of 25 meters and a drop of 60 meters, is originated by the water of the river Skógaá that falls from the cliffs of the former coastline.
After the coastline had receded into the sea (it is now at a distance of about 5 km from Skógar), the cliffs stayed behind parallel to the coast over hundreds of kilometers, creating together with some mountains, a clear border between the Lowlands and the Highlands of Iceland.
