This colourful view captures the bustling annual autumn sheep-sorting event, known as Réttir, in the Mývatnssveit region. A large crowd of local farmers and community members are gathered inside a stone-walled sorting pen to identify and separate a massive flock of hardy Icelandic sheep against a scenic volcanic lake background.
