Iceland’s coast is marked by its many black volcanic sand beaches, but you can also spot a shipwreck, seals and chunks of ice that have broken off of a glacier.

Even though I visited Iceland in the off-season, we still managed to catch the aurora borealis on one night when skies were clear. Plus a glorious sunset at the coast.

The National Army Museum (NAM) in Chelsea often falls off my radar, as we already have the Imperial War Museum... & the NAM has not helped itself with some lacklustre exhibitions. Read about my recent visit & more in my latest Diary of a London Art Critic: buff.ly/CosYhrm #LondonArtCritic
