On the other side of this photo, behind the camera was a geothermal bath. That area was warm and bright, whereas this area was cold and deserted. The contrast amazes me.

I had the experience of going inside of a glacier - a rare opportunity. It won’t be available in 10 years time because of the glacier melting and hence becoming unstable. You may not believe that Global Warming is caused by man but it’s certainly exists and is a threat to mankind.

Glymur Waterfall is Iceland’s second-tallest waterfall and located in West Iceland. This photo was taken about 2 hours into this grueling hike, where the full beauty of Glymur is on display. The trailhead is about an hour drive from Reykjavík and offers one of the best hikes in the entire country. ⛰Read more details from our team about visiting Glymur Waterfall on our website -https://globecityguide.com/destinations/europe/iceland/attractions/glymur-waterfall

On a winter trip to Iceland with my fiancé we got hit by a winter blizzard. Luckily at the end of your third day on the trip, visibility began clearing up and we were able to see some beautiful sights like this. Iceland is truly beautiful and the views such as this were even more valuable to us because they were rare during the winter storm. Coordinates: 63°58'22.7"N 16°25'13.2"W

One night, under a heavy wind as only north of Iceland can provide, we where stuck in this lovely town of Stykkishólmur. Maybe not what you think first when checking what to visit in Iceland but this town and it’s region is worth the road! This church has been designed by Jón Haraldsson, concecration happened in 1980. The sweeping bell tower was thinked to looks like a whale vertebra. Some people will told you that it was drawn to be viking drakkar. The interior include a Madonna painting with child floating in the night sky, you will also notice the hundreds of suspended lights.

The Snæfellsnes Peninsula really is Iceland in a nutshell; here some of the most incredible scenes in the whole country can be found. We found this lighthouse on a stormy day, and the drone battled the wind to get up high enough and get the shot.

Snaefellsnes in iceland, the part that also hosts arrow shaped mountain (or as it’s called for non-GoT viewers: Kirkjufell ;)). It not only provides that iconic view but many others, and is a great area just to drive around and be happy :) Buy awesome, limited edtition, photo prints: handpictphoto.com

An incredible, colorful, vibrant sunset in Iceland during the winter months. There are only a few hours of daylight each day which means the sun rises and sets quickly in the afternoon hours. This sunset was one of the most amazing sunsets that we saw during our trip in Iceland. The funny thing about this shot and what makes this shot so amazing is that we were actually on a bus trip that stopped at a 'rest stop' for a 30 minute food break. Instead of eating, I climbed over a railing and went down a hill to get to the incredible scene you're seeing here. Definitely worth it.

One of my personal favorite photos form my Iceland trip looking out onto the ocean with the tide rushing up against the black sand beach. This is shot on a 30 second exposure with a 10 stop BD filter. The yellow grass in the foreground contrasts with the blue/green tint of the ocean and sky.

I was going through some old photos and I found this shot from the first time we landed in Iceland. We drove for about 40 min and just randomly chose a turn-off. The area looked beautiful but pretty flat and we just happened to stumble upon this beauty. I knew right then that I had fallen in love with this place, I was hooked.

Day trip around the Snaefellsnes peninsula and an impromptu roadside stop that rewarded us with these views from above.

My camera was out of battery as I have taken so many photos as I drive along the road in Iceland. I ended up using iPhone and it turns out to be my favorite photo. More Iceland story at: https://www.roadtripwithraj.com/on-the-road/2018/2/2/i-am-learning-to-trust-the-road-ahead-wherever-it-may-lead

It was our penultimate day in Iceland and the weather was really stormy and snowy in Reykjavík. It was cold and the wind was extemly uncomfortable but i really wanted to go to the Hallgrímskirkja to have a view about the northernmost capital of the world. The church has little stone windows so the wind was still blowing and gets stronger (and on a 75m tower you definitely feel the power of the wind much stronger anyway!)So it was impossible to photography and i though after minutes of trying i must go. But at once it was complete calm. I was alone and had this beautiful and colourful view.

It was heavily overcast and threatening rain when we pulled into Grundarfjörður harbour but the sun broke through briefly and illuminated a small farm on the shore.

Kirkjufell mountan or the church mountain. I hiked early in the morning to do some shots and the sun came just out, to illuminate it a bit. Sea level was low, so i could walk on the coast around it. There is a lot of pictures with the waterfall next on it, but i tried a bit different perspective :)

On a mission to start crossing some must sees off of my bucket list, I booked a quick trip to Iceland to chase the northern lights. Turns out, I barely had to leave Reykjavik and I caught my first glimpse on my first night about 10 minutes outside of town.

On August, I spent about two weeks in Iceland and Greenland. This glacier was the first astonishment as we arrived in Iceland. The first time in my life sitting so close to the glacier and touch the cold water. Not just cold but extremely freezing. Still, an unbelievably beautiful scenery with no doubt.
