This is the main highway circling Iceland’s majestic beauty. The snow-capped mountains are a welcome site as you drive towards the island’s second most-populated city, Akureyi.

travelers stories about Waterfall in Goðafoss Waterfall, Iceland

Waterfall in Goðafoss Waterfall, Iceland

  65 km from Öxnadalsheiði


Goðafoss, the Waterfall of the Gods, is one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland. In winter, this waterfall is absolutely incredible to see, and altogether impossible to photograph. The spray from the falls was freezing the second it hit my lens. I spent 6 hours here, and some of that time was spent taking photos.

This is Godafoss. We were driving in the northern parts of Iceland somewhere near Akureyri and Dettifoss. The North really is sheer wilderness. This is one of the must see waterfalls of Iceland, couldn’t drive by without stopping to get a few shots.

Waterfall in Goðafoss Waterfall, Iceland

Godafoss is one of the largest and most powerful waterfalls in Iceland. This specific shot was incredibly difficult to get. Right next to the water, the mist was constantly being kicked up onto the lens and it was -35 degrees with the wind chill. After spending 3 hours in this location, I could literally break the ice off of my jacket in sheets. Powerful, treacherous, and absolutely magical.

The beautiful thing about Iceland is most of the waterfalls are easily accessible right on the Iceland ring-road. A well spent evening with the amazing view from both sides of the falls.

travelers stories about Cliff in Vatnsnesvegur, Iceland

Cliff in Vatnsnesvegur, Iceland

  83 km from Öxnadalsheiði


In the summer of 2014 I took a long exposure picture of this 15 m tall basalt stack, located along the eastern shore of the Vatnsnes peninsula, near Vatnsnesvegur (northern Iceland). Its name ‘Hvítserkur’ means ‘white nightdress’ because of the seabirds guano covering it. Most guides refer to its shape as a dinosaur or dragon drinking from a spring. According to the local mythology, Hvítserkur is a troll that was going to destroy a nearby monastery since he was tired of being woken up every morning by the church bells, but he underestimated the distance and was petrified when the sun came up.

travelers stories about Shore in Mývatn, Iceland

Shore in Mývatn, Iceland

  88 km from Öxnadalsheiði


Iceland has a vast and varied landscape, but no parts are quite as desolate or mystifying as the northern parts of the island. This was taken in Myvatn, during what would still technically be considered “springtime.” The fields of volcanic rock covered by silently falling snow transform the landscape into some kind of beautiful, yet alien territory.

When the humpback was hunting for food, he was talking to us. We could hear him perfectly, when we stopped our motor of the boat. This picture was taken in the big bay near Husavik in Iceland. It’s only one of many photos.

Plain in Kjalvegur, Iceland

  96 km from Öxnadalsheiði


This is scary, I mean, the landscape is awesome but being there is really scary, especially if you are alone, like I was. This is where my trip around Iceland began, I had the car full of food, beverages and most important, gas. However, looking at this road, and realizing that you are almost alone (just one car far far away) in the middle of nothing, that, really makes you think about a lot of stuff..

travelers stories about Glacial landform in Langjokull, Iceland

Glacial landform in Langjokull, Iceland

  108 km from Öxnadalsheiði


Taken at Iceland’s second largest glacier Langjökull. I was based at the foot of the mass of ice taking abstract shots of the patterns running through the frozen mass when a group of friendly hikers passed me. I waited in position watched their cautious ascent up the intimidating glacier. When the hikers reached a prime position I took my shot, emphasising the fact that when man and nature co-operate they create a powerful work of art.

Hill in Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland

  118 km from Öxnadalsheiði


Driving along Route 1 in Iceland was an incredible experience. Every corner revealed something that took our breath away. As the designated driver and only keen photographer, I stopped the car many time to capture scenes like this. This looks like the mountains are inviting and leading you into it’s treacherous wilderness beyond.

Ecoregion in Gullfoss, Iceland

Iceland was both a fairytale and nightmare for me. On the way to Gullfoss, I got into an accident and thankfully no one was hurt. We were haunted by the experience, but once we made our way there the next day, that haunting feeling vanished, and that is what makes Iceland so magical.

travelers stories about Waterfall in Háifoss, Iceland

Waterfall in Háifoss, Iceland

  148 km from Öxnadalsheiði


This hidden majesty was captured deep inland on the southern part of Iceland. You have to take a 4x4 road for about 10 miles. Once you reach jagged parking lot, you can hear the raging water flowing down, crashing against the rocks below. Haifoss is the second tallest waterfall in Iceland. Do not miss out on it’s beauty.

Waterfall in Bruarfoss Waterfall, Iceland

  154 km from Öxnadalsheiði


A shot at Brúarfoss in Iceland. The waterfall is slightly tricky to find (crossing a bridge where it says, one may not cross, and then a short hike). This particular shot was taken using a super-tele lens to get close to the falls. Not the most powerful waterfall on Iceland, but sure one of the most beautiful ones, as there is mostly glacier water coming down, which gives it its fantastic colors.

Landmannalaugar, Iceland - one the most beautiful places in Iceland. The drive to this place via the F-Roads, the sceneries, the numerous lakes, snow capped mountains, etc… all of this just adds fuel to the fire.
