Apart from the afternoon on the first day and yesterday, we’ve been blessed with great weather this week. Even too good at times! And today was shaping up to be a great one, as the the rain from yesterday had turned into snow overnight and we got to drive through a gorgeous white landscape to…

In the morning we drove to Fjaðrárgljúfur (yeah I won’t try to pronounce it either), the canyon where we experienced some of the worst weather two years ago. The wind was so hard that it wasn’t possible to walk into it because the rain hurt on the face! No problems with either wind or rain this…

We are going to Landmannalaugar today which is a new place for me, and one that I’ve really been looking forward to seeing! It’s another of the iconic places in Iceland and the road there proved it – it’s well trafficked, not in the sense that there were a lot of cars on the road this…

Our morning spot was familiar to me and not in a good way, I struggled here at Dýrholaey two years ago. I was not excited about this new opportunity and spent the first part of the morning just walking around. I finally decided that I have to at least try and found two options, and…

Our first day in the highlands was another familiar place for me, but the weather couldn’t have been more different than two years ago. It was still a bit cloudy in the morning, but the clouds faded fast and all we got was blue skies! On top of that, it was almost calm. I could…

This morning was my fifth time on the black sands of Jökulsárlón and I gave up. I had a look at the beach and saw how little ice there was now, and I didn’t even bother to try. I went for a walk which turned out to be a good thing because it gave me…

I’m back in Iceland! This will be half the same trip that I did two years ago, but hopefully with completely different weather! But at least I’m better prepared now – I have enough warm clothes with me so I don’t have to freeze the whole week like I did the last time! There was…

Today was my last chance (or have I overused ”last chance” by now?) to check off items from my to-do list for the snow-free season. Cycling to Backvallen was on the list and now I’ve done it. It’s a nice road, in surprisingly good condition considering that there’s very little traffic so there’s probably not much road…

I’ve been waiting for a chance to shoot at Tevån, and today was perfect. Overcast and no wind, and the calm weather helped me a lot because I forgot to pack the step-up ring so I could use a 77mm 3-stop ND on the wideangle lens, which meant that I was stuck using the 10-stop ND instead.…

All through the summer I’ve been jealous of all the mountain bikers I’ve come across on my hikes. I really want to learn trail riding because it will open whole new doors for me (and it looks like a lot of fun!) so I got myself a real bike last week. I already had two bikes,…
