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.

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.

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..

I had just started my trip around Iceland and while I was driving I suddenly spotted this little house right here.. Just kidding, my GPS sent me the wrong way in the middle of this land.

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.

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.

A beautiful and big waterfall, it was taken at the end of the day. I was waiting for someone for this pic; then that person took place in the corner :)

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.

Found this little guy in Iceland walking past a ledge when I heard a surprising chirp and looked in the grass and found this.

Near to Road 1 in Iceland, Gullfoss waterfall reminds us that we are so tiny in front of Nature.

Early morning in Svinafell glacier tongue in South Iceland. One of those special quiet moments where you can hear the glacier braking almost as loud as your thoughts.

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

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.
