Glacial landform in Stakkholtsgja canyon, Iceland

  6 km from Eyjafjallajökull


Strolling down the canyon. It was midnight and auroras were bursting, but i was stuck in the canyon, so i tried to make as much use as i can from the position where i was. The idea fell on my mind to light the sides with the torches and another selfie came out :)

Cliff in Stakkholtsgja canyon, Iceland

A winter hike into the stakkholtsgja canyon. This one was taken in middle of january 2018. It is the same canyon i used for the night photo with two torches i was just positioned a bit lower in it. Beginning of this canyon was also used exactly a year ago for a short scene in game of thrones, where they capture the undead guy. This time it is not me standing but my dear coworker, who i photographically abused, so that i can deliver you this photo :)

Floki the fox legend returns. This one has been missing since 2016 march. Happy to see he made it thru summer. One of the first pictures i posted here was from him last year (2015). He hangs around another hut in the valley, but in winter nobody is staying there, so he pays me a visit …until other foxes chase him away

A nice evening with a set of mild northern lights. The moon was full , so it illuminated the background nicely. Unfortunately for it the northern lights were less visible....but just enough to make a composition like this :)

Visited the stunning Skógafoss, in the south of Iceland. Waited for quite a while to be able to capture this shot without any other tourists in the frame. To this day, one the best travel memories.

Coming home from Switzerland I stopped in Iceland for 24 hours, I hopped into a landy and drove out to a couple of the most famous waterfalls between 2 and 7 am. I had the whole place to myself and it was amazing. Dark, cold, rainy, and perfect.

Cave in Nauthúsagil, Iceland

  13 km from Eyjafjallajökull


What seems like floating up in the air, is just the light effect that the torch does, reflecting from the water. I was standing also on a rock in the middle of a water stream. Picture was taken at midnight in a canyon. There is a small glimpse of green up in the sky, those were the auroras that were outside the canyon

travelers stories about Cave in Sólheimajökull, Iceland

Cave in Sólheimajökull, Iceland

  17 km from Eyjafjallajökull


I came to the glacier at 5 am when and found no traces of life except for an old yellow school bus used as an office for a local tour company. Signs “Do not go without a helmet and ice cleats” couldn’t stop my inner adventurer. So I went alone. I went pretty far and the terrain started looking more and more intimidating. If you fell in a crack, you’re done. After getting a good number of pictures, I turned back and successfully got out of there carrying a good amount of pics and memories.

Glacial landform in Sólheimajökull, Iceland

  17 km from Eyjafjallajökull


We went to Iceland in February to visit the land of ice and fire in the winter - ice caves, glacier walks, northern lights and hot pots under snow. Unfortunately 2017 has been so much warmer than normal - as warm as April or May usually are - that glaciers are melting away at unprecedented rates. The distance between where the photo was taken and the glacier has doubled in less than 12 months.

Mountain range in Markarfljótsgljúfur Canyon, Iceland

  17 km from Eyjafjallajökull


Went exploring a bit into the highlands, when i found a spot to park…walked around and got this shot. At the back you can see a glacier which comes from eyjafjallajokull . That is the volcano that erupted in 2010 and set Iceland back on map for a while. Not everybody liked that since they were stranded on airports :)

Waterfall in Seljalandsfoss, Iceland

  19 km from Eyjafjallajökull


Back in early March, I had spent the morning with Icelandic ponies and the afternoon wandering around Seljalandfoss and Gljúfrabúi waterfalls. Both are beautiful and situated close by each other. This photo was taken just when the moon was rising and peaking through at the top.

Waterfall in Seljalandsfoss, Iceland

  19 km from Eyjafjallajökull


here is the famous waterfall in Iceland. Ok one of many! This is a throwback to June. And I can tell you, it wasn’t very summery. In fact, it was damn cold outside and it rained on us every single day! I was pretty surprised it didn’t snow this day. My hands were actually numb from from holding the Canon but I managed! It was well worth it! This is a fantastic place. I highly recommend the trip if you can make it. I hope to get there in the winter for the northern lights. The spent the whole day just on the ring with plenty to see. Five days surely was just enough leaving me hungry for more!

Waterfall in Seljalandsfoss, Iceland

I got completely soaked taking this photo. #1 top travel tip I could ever offer about Iceland is if you must go during the summer (which you should not) wait until 10pm-7am to go see everything. The sun is always light enough and you will see the most majestic places all to yourself. This was about 2 am behind one of my favorite waterfalls on earth. 🇮🇸🙌

travelers stories about Shore in Black Sand Beach, Iceland

Shore in Black Sand Beach, Iceland

  22 km from Eyjafjallajökull


The Black Sand Beach in Vik, Iceland is one of my favorite places in the world. It was incredible to have the opportunity to photograph this beach. We were there in December, which means Iceland only had a couple hours of daylight with a very long sunrise and long sunset. I shot this with a 10 stop ND filter and a 30 second exposure.

Shore in Black Sand Beach, Iceland

An incredible slow shutter speed shot of the iconic Black Sand Beach in Vik Iceland during the winter months with only a few hours of daylight. The sun was setting far off in the distance, beaming through the clouds and reflecting off the water retracting back into the ocean. I shot this with a 10 stop ND filter and a 30 second shutter.

Coast in Solheimasandur Plane Wreck, Iceland

  23 km from Eyjafjallajökull


After walking for 45 minutes through horizontal snow and driving wind, we finally saw the shape appear of the whiteness. In this alien and martian landscape there is now color, simply the black sand of the beach and the white of the snow.

This plane wreck was in my bucket least since I started using Instagram. Insta folks love it don’t you? So it’s a US Navy DC plane that crashed on the beach because someone forgot to fuel up the tank (actually switch over to the wrong tank).

Badlands in Solheimasandur Plane Wreck, Iceland

  23 km from Eyjafjallajökull


On our way to the DC-3 plane wreckage site, there was a long stretch that we had to walk. In between shenanigans I started contemplating the landscape far out in the distance, after some minutes, the light started hitting the mountain in such a way that its reflection looked pink-red.
