I may be wrong, and the UK is the third closest country to here, but the difference is an insignificant spec I hadn't heard of until recently.It might help to know what's being looked at.

Lovely photo, Barry.
And well spotted Pixseal.
Is the question about whether the UK is rule second or third closest country because the Faroe Islands are in between (I looked around the Faroes and thought it might possibly be Mulafossur).

Thanks.
I think I overcooked it in post, but my wife loves it.
Closest to Iceland are Greenland and the Faroes, both Denmark. So I was thinking the UK's Shetland Islands was second (where we were the previous week).
I forgot about Jan Mayen, which is Norway, and is closer than the Shetlands. I didn't know that existed, until it was the closest land on our cruise (day after Godafoss), on the way to Lofoten Norway.
Shetland is about 490 miles, Jan Mayen about 340 miles from Iceland. I thought Rockall (UK) might save me, I'd also forgotten about that, but it's 430 miles from Iceland.

OK - a guess with only moderate expectation of being correct.
The building on the far clifftop looks a bit like the San Francisco VA Medical Center. So, would this ship be heading for San Francisco Bay with the Golden Gate ahead?
