Unmanned Light On Top of Geirfuglasker Island. Geirfuglasker is a very small isolated island, part of the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago off the southwest coast of Iceland. Historical note — last refuge of the Great Auk before they went extinct (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geirfuglasker). There must be a generator up there, but I don’t know how the light is serviced? Image taken with a Nikon D4 camera and 80-400 mm VRII lens (ISO 140, 400 mm, f/5.6, 1/1000 sec)
