Tales From The Riverbank

Mid-February, and a gorgeous day for following the river as far as we can through the snow-drifts. The main roads have been cleared and the conditions are good albeit with temperatures well below zero C.

Fnjóskadalur, an agricultural valley in Þingeyjarsveit north-eastern #Iceland. Fnjóská, a popular salmon angling river and the longest spring-fed river in Iceland, runs through it.

A photo of a snow scene with a river curving through the foreground. A range of mountains fills the horizon and disappears into a valley behind another foreground peak at centre right. The sky above has scattered cloud but is deep cold blue and cyan. The sunlight is from the right. The snow lying on every surface is completely untrammelled.
A photo of a snow scene, and the same river except this time in close-up. The untouched snow on the riverbanks is shining and silky, long shadows are being thrown from the right by strong sunlight. A line of mountains on the horizon has a cloud-bank above it. The river water is dark and has large areas completely frozen, most of which are also covered in snow.
A photo of a snow scene, under a cloudy but blue sky. The horizon is hilly and a farm building in the centre right lends scale. The foreground is a smooth snow-field, its surface slightly pitted and with dark areas of rock showing through. On the right, in a depression, part of the river is visible as a few slightly thawed patches next to a frozen and snowed-over surface. The end is a river bank so this would be a pool when thawed.
A photo of a snow scene but, this time, from further away from the river so that its surface can't be seen. The horizon is obscured by large mountainsides and only a small window of blue sky is visible top left. The foreground is a fenced field. Between this and the mountains are beautifully sculpted silken snowdrifts, lit from almost directly behind the viewpoint. The snow is clean and untouched, shadows on its surface are the only sign that it's folded into gorgeous convoluted pleats.

Lava is eating the road.

Lava is very close to the parking lot at the Blue Lagoon.

#Iceland #Volcano

Lava is flowing to the right where there is a big empty parking lot except for a few cars. A protective barrier is also seen and it looks like to machines are working on it.

Myndir: Hraunið komið inn á bílaplan Bláa lónsins

Hraun rennur nú alveg rétt við bílaplan Bláa lónsins og mun líklega fara yfir planið eftir skamma stund. Ekki er þó talið að hraunið muni fara inn fyrir varnargarð og að lóninu sjálfu eða orkuverinu í Svartsengi.

View of the lava flow from above, lava is flowing over a big parking lot and on the road nearby. In the background is a big barrier protecting a geothermal powerplant.

Allt bílaplanið komið undir hraun

Allt bílaplan Bláa lónsins er nú komið undir hraun, utan nokkurra ljósastaura sem standa við enda þess sem áður var bílaplan. Þá virðist hraunið örlítið hafa dreift úr sér, en það heldur áfram að renna meðfram varnargarðinum vestan við Bláa lónið.

Really interesting that this eruption began with only a few very low magnitude quakes. That is not how it’s been in the past.

Done catching up om Isaks livestream.
Unfortunately he had to do an emergency landing with his drone Flippy and now it’s left in the cold. Fortunately it didn’t land in the lava and he might be able to retrieve it later.

If you’re on Instagram I can recommend checking out Hörður Kristleifsson, h0rdur.

A lot smaller is of course still very powerful. The road to Grindavík is overflowed again. But except that infrastructure and the town itself is safe from the flow.

#Iceland #Volcano

#iceland #volcano

This eruption is a lot smaller. I’m actually a bit surprised cause a week ago the The Icelandic Met Office made a statement that the pressure was low and it was unlikely that there would be another eruption in November.
But here we are.

A brief glimpse of the odd, stumpy structure that crowns the pinnacle.

A photo of a mountaintop under a cloudy sky with large cyan patches. There's strong sunlight from the right. The foreground is uneven and dark rock ridges, bare of snow and ice but with unusual vertical fingers of rock sticking up from the edge. Behind this is a wide expanse of cracked and sculpted ice, clean and white with blue shadows. In the centre of the shot is the pinnacle. On the right it is an unusual twin stump of rock, almost like a small butte with a distinct ridge running away from it. On the left is a humped mound, and this appears to be the highest point.

Summer Stillness

Stopping at the roadside to enjoy the tranquillity; the soft breeze rippling the water, the sound of distant birds, the wildflowers in the muddy meadows.

A photo of a landscape containing a large body of water. The foreground is a grey dirt road through dark grassland, puddles of standing rainwater are dotted throughout. Beyond that is the shining water of a huge fjord beneath a lightly clouded cyan sky. Heavier cloud is visible on the horizon, just above distant misty mountains.

#introduction
Hey everyone!

Mo here, onward and upwards as is always the hope and desire.

I'm a fairly atypical Granny living in #Scotland, with an #Iceland photography obsession. I used to do games graphics many moons ago. I love weather photography, long slow walks getting slower due to stuff, my wonderful sons and my lovely patient partner.

Here's a drop-dead gorgeous shot to start this. Lómagnúpur in southern #Iceland.

The peak of the mountain is peeking out between layers of vapour -above is a glorious crown of lenticular clouds tinted by the sunset into shades of orange, peach and grey. The sky above is clearing to cyan.

Liquid Refreshment

February, and this gorgeous waterfall with its turquoise water and the surrounding black basalt column teeth is a true jewel of nature. The drive and hike were long and difficult but worth every step through knee-deep snow to reach this beauty.

#WaterfallWednesday #DailyPhoto #WeatherPhotography #LandscapePhotography

A photo of a horsetail waterfall on the left of a frozen landscape. The water in the pool below the chute is turquoise and foam is churning across the surface. The cascade is surrounded by near vertical columns of black basalt, and the white ice between them is highlighting the joints in the structure. Around the base, the spray has created large blocks of cyan ice capped with snow. The crest of the cascade is over-topped by a delicate arch of ice, and the river feeding the falls can be seen at the top left to centre of the shot.

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.

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.

Queen Of Icelandic Mountains

This is Herðubreið, literally "broad-shouldered," a steep-sided volcano formed when lava erupted through thick ice.
Tuyas like this are rare worldwide, only found in areas covered by glaciers and with active volcanism at the same time.

At 1,682 meters (5518’) Herðubreið is the 6th tallest peak in Iceland and is called the "national mountain."

#FarAwayFriday #DailyPhoto #LandscapePhotography

A photo of a landscape under a clear sky. The foreground is withered brown grassland, patches of hard frost are visible in the deep shadows. In the distance is an unusual mountain. It has a pointed summit which tapers slightly to form a table top. From there the shoulders of the peak are steep, gradually widening in a soft curve to ground level. There's a tuft of bearded cloud sitting on the top. Other mountains can be seen in the distance, fading with tonal perspective in the deep cold. It's very beautiful.
#landscapephotography #iceland #dailyphoto #farawayfriday @photography group

Uninhabited

Across the fjord is Iceland's northernmost peninsula which has been protected as Hornstrandir Nature Reserve since 1975, haven for Arctic fox and sea-birds. With a strong sense of remoteness, lack of infrastructure and unmatched tranquillity, to simply stand and be is a feast for the senses.
