Iceland
Iceland comes through Grimsey puffins and bird cliffs in zodiac. Fulmars and Arctic terns in flight. Coastal hike with incredible sculptured rock silhouette. Catch puffins in flight. Knowing it is a killer photo! Puffins touching bills. Winning competition with such a killer photo. Audience gasps at puffin in flight and Gavin knows it's mine. Third triumph in three trips.
