Cold Feet

February: Visiting a frozen waterfall in the Highlands of #Iceland with a guide, and he led one of our party across the knee-deep snow to a safe viewpoint. I wasn't confident enough to follow them!

Hrafnabjargafoss is only really accessible in summer, because it is located on a highland road that is closed to the public in the winter months. Even in summer, it can only be reached safely in a 4WD vehicle.

In Mountain Shadow

Standing at the head of Súgandafjörður, on a lovely autumn day.

This used to be an isolated fjord and didn’t connect to the road system in Iceland until 1940. Even then it was only accessed via a challenging mountain road. The 9.1 km Vestfjarðagöng tunnel wasn’t built until 1996, and is the only tunnel we've ever been through that has a T junction at roughly the central point.

Seasonal Sentinels

November, September, and February. Three shots of the same mountains, three different moods.

These memorable peaks are visible from the main ringroad (route 1) and I snapped them during different visits, years apart.

Akrafjall (1151m) and Sólheimafjall (1171m) in Blönduhlíðarfjöll near Varmahlíð in Skagafjörður, north-western #Iceland.

Two stately mountains, lit from behind the viewpoint. The wide peaks are almost horizontal, and their flanks are softly curved displaying their glacial origin. To reinforce this, a glacier has cut between them at some time before disappearing, and has left a scooped valley at almost the central point. In this shot, their sides are mostly snow-covered with dark rock showing through where the wind has scoured the ice away. The rest of the landscape around is snowy and frozen. The sky is almost completely full of snow cloud, solid and yellow-grey. Two photographers are visible in the foreground with their backs to the viewer.
The same two mountains, taken from slightly nearer than the first shot. This time the ground is free from snow and is covered in golden vegetation, suggesting autumn. The lower slopes of the two mountains are touched by sunlight from the right, and clouds have created shadow across the flat tops of the peaks. The bare rock is dark grey, and a sprinkle of snow is visible on the tops. The sky is cloudy again but with some clearer patches.
The two mountains again, this time taken from the tarmac road leading towards them. The peaks have more snow across them, but some dark rock is still visible and the shadows show that the light is from the right. The curved valley between them is much clearer in this shot. It has a river cutting through from the base of the valley and into the foreground on the right. The roadsides are brown vegetation with some farm animals - probably horses - grazing in a field on the left. The sky is clear cyan until just above the mountain tops, where some cloud is sitting.

Midnight Sun

"Sing, siren, for thyself and I will dote:
Spread o'er the silver waves thy golden hairs,
And as a bed I'll take them, and there lie"
- #ShakespeareSunday, Comedy of Errors

July, 9:30pm: Looking north across Breidafjördur.

The sky didn't fully darken while we were there, it turned to a lovely, silvery twilight. Blue sky or Blue Hour, there wasn't much between.

Home Of The Winds

February, and a farm nestles at the foot of Hlíðarfjall. This 1116m/3660ft high mountain is better known from the other side as it stands above Akureyri, and contains the ski slopes.

Plunge Pool

This was one of the first times we'd visited gorgeous Seljalandsfoss, and we discovered when we arrived that we were almost the only visitors at that time. Imagine that - the whole place to ourselves.

The little figure in a black coat on the path to the 61m/200ft falls is me!

September, Rangárþing eystra in southern #Iceland.

Water Power

This beautiful canyon was created by erosion from glacial meltwater cutting through the palagonite over millennia. It has carved strange, twisted pillars of rock standing on either flank of the river. A well-laid walking trail climbs the eastern side for about a mile, ans contains many observation platforms.

Fjaðrárgljúfur ("Feather river canyon") in Skaftárhreppur, southern #Iceland.

Horses On A Hill

Iceland in February, very beautiful but with unpredictable weather. We never travel without a change of warm and dry clothes, plenty of water and a high calorie snack. This was the tail-end of a strong wind storm, and we were glad to see it finish.

#SilentSunday

"His qualities were beauteous as his form,
For maiden-tongued he was, and thereof free;
Yet, if men moved him, was he such a storm
As oft 'twixt May and April is to see,
When winds breathe sweet, untidy though they be."
- #ShakespeareSunday, Lover's Complaint

Black Beauty

The volcanic sands of Reynisfjara, near Vík í Mýrdal in southern #Iceland.

This strand regularly features in lists of "World's Top Beaches" due to its cleanliness, water quality and sheer loveliness.
If it was rated for swimming and sunbathing, it would get 0/10 every time!

The basalt stump in the centre is Arnardrangur (Eagle Rock) and in the distance are the famous Reynisdrangar.

Canyon Cascade

There are some lovely and quite famous valleys in southern #Iceland, this one is unusual because the entrance is blocked by a large, dome-shaped rock.
Stjórnargljúfur (𝙎𝙩𝙮𝙖𝙬𝙣-𝘢𝘳𝘳-𝘨𝘭𝘺𝘰𝘰-𝘷𝘳𝘳) gulley also contains a river and its waters cascade beautifully over this block.

Stjórnarfoss waterfall (49 ft/15 m high) in Skaftárhreppur. The guy in the shot is my partner!

Snow Dome

November: A shot from a plane flying at 6500m between Reykjavik to Akureyri. The accumulation of snowflakes on the top of Hrútfell (1396m) eventually flows as part of a glacier - Hrútfellsjökull.

The other mountains are Innra-Sandfell and Femra-Sandfell. Bláskógabyggð in the western Central Highlands of #Iceland.

A sunset boat ride across Fjallsárlón lagoon, towards the snout of Fjallsjökull glacier.

The mountain on the left is Ærfjall (407m/1335ft) and the hook-shaped tongue on the left is Hrútárjökull - the 'Ram Glacier'.

Ox Valley

February: Crossing the Tröllaskagi peninsular on a beautifully crisp day. The main ring-road, Route 1, passes between multiple 1000+ metre high mountains as it winds between Skagafjörður and Eyjafjörður in the north of #Iceland.

I particularly love this spot, dropping down into Öxnadalur from Krókárdalur, but I'd never seen the road picked out so clearly before.
