After an incredible week of glaciers, snowstorms and icebergs (plus a surprise proposal!), our time in Iceland ended with a couple of days in Reykjavik.

I’ve spent the past couple of evenings looking through the last of the thousands (yes, thousands!) of photos that I took in Iceland and reminiscing about Reykjavik, the final leg of our trip.
