Strewn along the black sand and stones of Djúpalónssandur beach were the rusted iron remains of the trawler Epine out of Grimsby, which was shipwrecked here coincidentally on this exact day (March 13), 71 years ago, in 1948. One crewman washed up on the beach alive. From the shore, rescue crews from surrounding communities shot a harpoon to the ship. The crew tied the line to the mast and four crewmen were pulled to shore. The other fourteen perished. - IMG 1889

The conditions today were such that we could easily imagine a ship running into trouble. The wind was howling, and the snow stung our faces. As Craig and I posed for a photo in front of the roaring waves, the wind nearly blew me off my feet, and my scarf blew over my eyes. This extreme weather was so raw...and it was a highlight for us to experience the rugged beauty of nature. Djúpalónssandur - IMG 1927
Rock pillar here was a troll woman whose husband had gone off fishing and had not returned. She went to the shore to watch for his return, and the sun came up and she turned to stone. She is facing away from the sea with a rucksack on her back.
