Spotlight: Iceland

Since launching, we’ve seen Instagram spread from our headquarters in the Bay Area to every corner of the globe. In this series, Spotlight, we’ll highlight top users from countries and cities with thriving Instagram communities.

The island country of Iceland is best known for its volcanoes, beautiful waterfalls, northern lights and hard to pronounce, well, everything! It’s situated between the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge slices right through the center of the small island nation. Though it is only 103,000 square kilometers (40,000 square miles), there’s no shortage of photographic terrain.

Want a first-person tour of Iceland? We put together a list of some amazing Instagrammers from in and around the country.

• Hans-Olav, snowy scenery and daily life around Iceland’s capital city, Reykjavík — @solavander
• Sig Vicious, graphic designer with an affinity for architecture — @sigvicious
• Vala Halldorsdottir, biking and camping adventures around the island — @valahalldorsdottir
• Anna Sig, stunning nature photography — @annasig

Grand Central Station Turns 100!

Want to see more photos of Grand Central’s Centennial? Visit the Grand Central Terminal location page.

Today, New Yorkers are celebrating the 100th birthday of Grand Central Station in style with notable speakers, exhibits on the station’s history and even a cake replica of the station’s iconic four-faced clock. The Beaux-Arts terminal was completed in 1913 and was declared a city landmark in 1968 after nearly being razed. As many as 750,000 travelers pass through Grand Central each day, with many visiting just to photograph the mural of constellations spanning the ceiling or explore the secret “whispering gallery” with its acoustic arches that amplify soft whispers into shouts.
