travelers stories about Road trip in Ártún, Iceland

Road trip in Ártún, Iceland

  4 km from Hvolsvöllur


One of the last auroras for this winter. Driving a country road, while sky started to explode, so a stop was a must. Night was dark and F4 lens needed an extra ISO to make it work. This is what came out....shadows were lifted and brightness also a bit, exposure worked with 20 seconds so there are startrails visible if zoomed in.

I took this picture during my trip in Iceland, near by a hotel I spent the night. We could see the Eyjafjallajökull volcano near by. I remember I smiled at this basketball court, wondering if anyone ever played here :D No hoop ! But it was special and the sunset here was so beautiful !

Waterfall in Seljalandsfoss, Iceland

  19 km from Hvolsvöllur


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 Hvolsvöllur


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!

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. 🇮🇸🙌

Cave in Nauthúsagil, Iceland

  20 km from Hvolsvöllur


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

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 :)

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 :)

Mountain range in Markarfljótsgljúfur Canyon, Iceland

  40 km from Hvolsvöllur


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 :)

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.

travelers stories about Mountain in Kerið, Iceland

Mountain in Kerið, Iceland

  46 km from Hvolsvöllur


I was travelling through Iceland in the fall of 2016, we stopped at a volcanic crater called, Kerið, just before sunset. Iceland is a magical place in November. There is just enough daylight to stay sane (sunrise is around 9.30am and sunset around 4pm) but at the same time sun is always very low in the sky making every minute feel like golden hour. The last 30mins before sunset, which is when this photo was taken, was one of the most beautiful skies I have ever seen.

Loch in Álftavatn, Iceland

  50 km from Hvolsvöllur


Midnight walk to the lake in Icelandic highlands. Taking a picture of myself again....after running down to the lake in those 10sec that i had with time triger. I put a bit exposure up and contrast. The picture has also hdr over, because lifting shadows didnt do much, since it is a very dark picture to start with. Picture looks a bit magical, but reality was also nice that evening

Cave in Sólheimajökull, Iceland

  50 km from Hvolsvöllur


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.

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.

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.

Shore in Black Sand Beach, Iceland

  53 km from Hvolsvöllur


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.

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).

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.
