Six Volcanoes
Flying into KeflavΓk on a clear winter's day, we managed to capture this shot of the south coast of #Iceland and the cluster of volcanoes around Fjallabak.
Apologies for the quality - this is a phone shot as my camera was safely stowed for transport.
In the second image (the same photo) I've labelled the peaks.

Smaller Sibling
Often overlooked due to its proximity to GoΓ°afoss, this neighbouring cascade has the same volume but is much narrower, forming an interesting chute.
The geology around it is particularly beautiful too, with basalt formations and rock arches. In winter, we've seen ptarmigan in these caves, white plumage obvious against the brown rock.

Tidal Race
This glacial lagoon is connected directly to the sea by a river channel. Twice a day, the tide refills it and then empties the excess back out into the ocean, refloating icebergs and taking them out to sea.
This process isn't a gentle flow, as you can see. I became fascinated by this chevron of surging water where the channel narrows to pass beneath the bridge.

Summertime Blues
Late August, and a beautiful day across the south coast of #iceland
We had said goodbye to VatnajΓΆkull, we were flying home the following morning. The giant named Jarngrimur who lives on this mountain didn't seem to want us to leave.
It would've been rude not to stop for one last photo op.

Frozen Bay
February and, after a few hours at the ice cliffs of Kaldakinn, we turned to drive back to our hotel. The black sand bar of SjΓ‘varsandur was locked in ice and covered in snow. Across SkjΓ‘lfandi bay the mountains behind HΓΊsavΓk were visible.
Our guide said he could see seals on the ice. I still can't.

66.1Β° North
9am in mid-November, and SiglufjΓΆrΓ°ur is starting to stir.
The sharp cold of the night is gradually being replaced by the promise of another clear day. The rising sun kisses the clouds with pink, and the silent mountains wait for any warmth.
Northernmost town in #Iceland and an area of spectacular natural beauty.

The Jewel Of #Iceland
One of the many attractions of the country, JΓΆkulsΓ‘rlΓ³n ("Glacier River Lagoon") on a particularly gorgeous November afternoon proves once again why it's just so unforgettable.

"Collapsing Waterfall"
This incredible cascade is almost guaranteed to make you feel very small if you stand at the canyon's edge. Notice the lack of huge barriers. The ground trembles slightly, and you can feel the vibration in your bones. Keeping your balance is quite difficult.
Situated on the JΓΆkulsΓ‘ Γ‘ FjΓΆllum river which flows from VatnajΓΆkull glacier, this is Dettifoss in north-eastern #Iceland.

Ditched
Sometimes, the #aurora can take you by surprise.
We'd been sitting in a safe spot for hours, waiting for the chance of a display. The KP forecast was dropping, the air was freezing and it was getting towards midnight so we decided to head back to the hotel in Akureyri, northern #Iceland.
Halfway down the mountain, the sky started to dance. Which is how we came to be photographing the #NorthernLights from a roadside ditch!

Slab Face
ElliΓ°atindar, about 915m/3000ft tall, with a magnificent vertical rock wall about 400m/1300ft across that stands at the front of the mountain's edge. The highest peaks are above and beyond the hammerhead-shaped rock.
This extraordinary mountain has slopes that hold some amazing volcanic features including lava caves and beautifully warped basalt columns.
