Last full day in Iceland! And we made the most of it, and started before breakfast to shoot the Hvítserkur basalt stack. The official description says that it looks like a dragon which is drinking, but in my eyes it’s clearly a mammoth! After breakfast, we had our last shots at waterfalls and visited a…

I got my wish and we didn’t head out before breakfast. I think everybody was a bit tired after yesterday! We are going to move to a new location today but the drive isn’t quite as long as the one three days ago, so we had time for a proper morning shoot. We took the…

We started before breakfast to visit a hot spot for a morning shoot. And by hot spot I mean it literally – boiling mud, fumaroles, and all that. Photographically, for me personally, it was perhaps more like lukewarm. I couldn’t quite figure out what to make of the steam… this wasn’t a great landscape place,…

It’s here – the wind and the rain and the snow. Basically, normal Icelandic weather! It was raining by Mývatn but as soon as we started driving up a mountain, it turned to snow instead. Photography became a bit of a challenge, but we made a brave effort at Krafla, a water filled volcano crater.…

I have a new favourite place in Iceland. Kerlingarfjöll! I could easily spend a vacation in this one place alone! It has both the big and small landscape and fascinating details, all shrouded in the steam from hot springs and fumaroles. And to think that we almost missed out on it, as the torrential rains…

We spent another day in the lava desert, and it was another day with good weather. The wind only bothered us occasionally, and some places were mirror calm (although typically, as soon as we had cameras out, the wind broke the water). In the evening we visited a wonderful valley with more waterfalls than you…

I wasn’t going to do this, but here I am again – in Iceland! I was planning to do it next year, but a cancellation opened up a spot on this year’s trip with Creative Adventures and I thought, why wait, so I took the spot. We arrived yesterday and had time to settle in…

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…
