Go straight to Iceland’s Vestrahorn at sunrise: arrive 30 minutes early, set tripod low to capture reflective black-sand foreground, aperture f/8–f/11, shutter 1/4–1/2s for smooth surf, ISO 100, bracket three frames at ±1 EV, shoot RAW. Coordinates 64.2480°N, 14.9730°W; optimal months Sep–Mar for low-angle light and frequent aurora activity. Permit: …

Recommendation: favor isles with resident populations between 100 and 5,000, an annual visitor-to-resident ratio under 5:1, and scheduled transport links no more than three sailings per week to preserve local life and spread spending.
