Veronica serpyllifolia; The Thyme-leaved speedwell is the only naturally growing speedwell on Iceland with flowers which are almost white. Except fot the barren highlands it can be found anywhere on Iceland. Supposedly, it prefers to grow along flowing waters but I photographed this plant along a walking trail well away from running water....!
It is a member of the figwort family (Scrophulariaceae).
