Before I take you into Iceland are you ready for a few more flowers? OK. We saw quite a few that we’d seen in Svalbard so I haven’t included those except for the willow which seems to have a number of difference species and has fascinated and confused me. It’s a pretty fabulous place.
Cotton grass
Dwarf fireweed - the National flower
Purple bladder campion
Snow buttercup
Seashore chamomile
Arctic bell heather
Arctic poppy
Dandelion
Yellow mountain saxifrage
Alpine biswort
Rosewort
