Glacial Trekking

A collection of images taken from glaciers all over Iceland.  The majority are from the Vatnajökull area (including Breidamerkur, Svinafell and Skaftafell), but I also explored around Myrdals, Snæfells and Eyjafjallajökull.  

 

Icy Abstractions

Even the microscopic landscapes of Iceland were diverse and spectacular.  Here's a bunch of macros of the of the abstract art created by strange ice formations.  

Glacial Lagoons - Jokulsárlón and Fjallsárlón

A collection of images from the glacial outlet lagoons on Iceland's southside, where calving faces of the Vatnajokull glaciers dump their ice into the ocean.  Although it looks like a frozen landscape, it is ever changing, with the light and land looking drastically every time I visited.  I love sitting around here at night, watching auroras dance over head and sounds loud as thundering from icebergs rolling and crashing into one another.  This place has been on my bucket list since childhood, but its still on there because I'm going to have to go back!

Winds so strong you could stand at a 45 degree angle to the ground!

Ice swirling around as the tides come in.
