Skógar is a small village, only a stones throw away from Skógafoss, features a museum that covers the history of the waterfall and region. 🏠 Read more details about Skógar on our website - https://globecityguide.com/destinations/europe/iceland/attractions/skogar
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The first part of the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull on Iceland in 2010. I walked the long way up to Fimmvörduhals-Pass and spend a night at the eruption site. More on vulkane.net

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.

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).

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.

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 :)

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 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 :)

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 :)

My boyfriend and I took a 10 day road trip in Iceland in September 2017. He’s a landscape photographer and gave me his old camera to play with, this is a shot I took of him while he was shooting.

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

Me and a couple of friends went to Iceland, rented a Jeep and went on a road trip through Iceland. This amazing shot was taking after parking the car at the beach in the evening, waking up to this beautiful view! I had climb a bit to get the desired height. Absolutely stunning!

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 :)
