Icelandic surfers fear port development will ruin 'perfect point break'
Volcanoes, northern lights and midnight sun are all on offer at this haven, which locals want to preserve.
Despite air and water temperatures in the single digits, two surfers and a couple of seals delight in the conditions at Þorlákshöfn in south-west Iceland.
This spot, where surfers can enjoy either the midnight sun or the northern lights depending on the time of year, has in recent years become the heart of Iceland's rapidly growing surfing community.
As well as being one of Iceland's only accessible point breaks (when wave swell strikes a point of land), it boasts unique scenery - the backdrop features several volcanoes - and consistently good waves. With its close proximity to Reykjavík, it has become a destination for locals, professionals and tourists alike.
