Driftwood on the beach by Drangsnesvegur, Strandir, Iceland
Iceland

Flotsam, jetsam and driftwood on the coast between Drangsnesvegur and Bjarnarfjörður, on the section of Route 645 between Bjarnarnes and Kaldrananes. I came across this as I drove along the eastern side of Strandir in the West Fjords.

The coastline in the West Fjords region of Iceland is littered with driftwood logs, which ocean currents carry from northern Siberia. It takes around seven years for this wood to make its way across the northern seas before being thrown up on the rocky beaches skirting the fjords in the north-west. 

Historically the wood was a valuable natural resource in a country with limited native forests: by law it belongs to the owner of the land on which it is cast up. 

[This is one of the panoramas from my June 2013 trip to Iceland. You can explore the other views of this incredible countryhere. https://www.360cities.net/sets/iceland-june-2013 ]
