Early Flight

A storm was brewing and this would be the only chance to bring in surface mail and essentials before the strong winds took hold of the entire area. It was already gusting strongly. Watching the pilots complete this landing on a small airstrip surrounded by the water of Pollurinn was tense, to say the least.

10am in mid-November and a plane is coming in to land in Akureyri, north-eastern #Iceland

A photo of a cloudy sky with snow-capped mountains in the lower part of the shot. In the top right quarter is a small aircraft, two propellers are visible. The clouds behind it are lit by the rising sun with tones of orange and yellow, and there is heavier and darker cloud behind it but most of the sky is quite clear. The mountain tops are displaying spindrift snow from the summits, a sign of strong winds.

Red Sky At Night...

September 2014, and the Holuhraun eruption of Bárðarbunga is well under way. We stopped for the night at a farm to the south of Vatnajökull glacier, and the eruption plume filled the sky.

At 18:45 when the sun set, the afterglow caused by volcanic ejecta - oxides of sulphur and thin clouds of tiny sulphuric acid droplets lofted into the stratosphere - yielded lurid but beautiful colours.

A photo of a mountain range, with the surface of a glacier smoothing the areas between the peaks. Three ice tongues can be seen dropping to ground level. The foreground is brown vegetation and farm fences. The sky is full of odd streaked shapes, not quite cloud as you would expect to see it but vog from an eruption. This gas and vapour is being coloured by the sunset to strong orange and bluish-grey, while the horizon line to the left is a bright yellow patch and to the right is a strangely layered orange and grey region. It's quite otherworldly.
