Storm Front

Tornadoes in Iceland are very rare, but this strong curve of cloud connected with a distant column that seemed to be spinning.

The coffee colour of the water was due to glacial flour, and the deep ripples in the lake show how windy it was.

November: Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Plant in Fljótsdalshérað. Looking across Hálslón reservoir towards Sandfell island - which was a 678 metre mountain - and Vatnajökull glacier, south-eastern Iceland.

A colour photo of a rippled reservoir of pale brown water. On the horizon are some low mountains and near the centre is a cloud structure that's funnel-shaped. The top of the column widens up to a cloud bank overhead, with small spirals of cloud below it. In the foreground is a long curve of angry-looking cloud, which sweeps from the top left of the shot in an arc down to the lower right, then is flattened just above the water surface. It looks threatening and gives a sense of foreboding.

Thank you, Lena! 😊
We thought we'd be caught in the storm, but we managed to get back to the hotel before it began.
Lucky, again! Good pictures without the risk.
