My brothers, playing Frisbee while standing on rocks on the black basalt beach of Vik in southern Iceland, a small fraction of a second before a gale-driven breaker of unusual size knocked James into the North Atlantic.



They're fine, though the North Atlantic in Iceland in December is not the warmest ocean of the Earth, and James's trousers were soaked; we made a ten-minute mercy drive to a purveyor of large furry beach towels and wrapped his legs in one of them, instead.

It's a good beach, if a tad over-dramatic



Something of a change from this time last year:

It's a lovely beach, and some of the columns are perfect for sitting on, if it's the same one we went to. The cave is cool too.
