2018Sepac - Spectacular View - First Day Cover

The common theme of the 13 countries issuing Sepac stamps is “Spectacular View“. The motif on the Icelandic stamp is Vestrahorn, a strikingly beautiful mountain in southeastern Iceland. Vestrahorn’s very impressive peaks reach up to around 454 m and are girded by steep, imposing cliffs. Vestrahorn is one of the few mountains in Iceland made almost exclusively of gabbro with occurrences of granophyre. It is located by the open ocean, about 10 km east of Höfn in Hornafjörður. A difficult and rugged pathway lies between the mountain and the shoreline at Vestrahorn.
