Sonic Journal EP22: West Iceland - Sketches in Spring (2022)

While on trip to Iceland in late May 2022 I didn’t plan on making many recordings but, as always, packed a little travel rig so managed to press record on a number of occasions in and around walking, driving and generally exploring the Snaefellsnes peninsula. There are many wild animal species to be seen and heard around this time of year in the west, including Whimbrel, Snipe, Arctic turn, White tail Eagle, Eider Duck and Artic Fox (which we did see once, briefly!). And of course, i was more than excited to record some geothermal action at a very remote natural hot spring while looking out over fields and snow topped mountains.

> 5 audio sketches, included in this continuous soundscape:

• Búðir coast, nr Búðakirkja church, a little after midnight;
• Arnastapi camp ground, mid morning;
• Öndverðarnes coast, early evening;
• Berserkjahraun lagoon, mid afternoon;
• Geothermal Springs a little north of Snaefellsnes, early afternoon. 

> Thanks for listening!
