Yes, the Sun Shines in Iceland

For the first time since arriving, I wore my sunglasses at noon. Daylight begins after 9am in November. By 11 am, the sun was shining in a clear sky. Walking past the University of Iceland Student Center, I could see snow-capped mountain peaks in the distance.  This brightness must be enjoyed when it happens as the sun sets @4:30pm or 16:30 (Iceland uses military time).

Past Stapi Building on campus is a mountain peak called Esja. Its snowy sides provided a winter backdrop from the classroom window where the Nord Mag sessions were held. As a Floridian accustomed to a flat environment, this is a postcard worthy sight.
