Volcanic waters

Mid-March, and Seljalandsfoss is still dropping from Eyjafjallajökull even though the temperature has been consistently below zero C for days.

Near the left side is Gljúfrabúi, the waterfall behind a large boulder and within a canyon.

A winter photo of a mountainside of dark rock covered in ice. The foreground is withered brown vegetation dotted with snow. Near the base of the cliffside, the rockface abruptly flattens into a vertical face, it's foot debris-strewn. Three waterfalls can be seen; on the left is the top of a cascade but the base is hidden, left of centre is a small cascade, and near the centre is an impressive horsetail falls.

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.

20 meter/65 feet tall Aldeyjarfoss in Skjálfandafljót river at the northern part of the Sprengisandur Highland Road in the Highlands of #Iceland

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.

Blue Shadows

Mid-February and another lovely cold but clear day in north-western #iceland

This is Reykjafoss at just after midday, the sunlight almost from the south hardly warming its frozen cascades.

A beautiful and peaceful place.

When I took this shot it was my partner's birthday and mine would be tomorrow, so we're celebrating our special days with a long and relaxed holiday driving around Iceland.

A photo of a landscape. In the centre of the shot is a pretty waterfall with multiple small drops, most of them seemingly completely frozen. In reality the water is still flowing beneath the ice but that isn't apparent from this shot. The surrounding rock surface is honey-coloured, the vegetation is brown and withered and the horizontal surfaces are covered in snow. The low light from the left is casting long shadows across the falls making the water and ice seem blue, and the brown rock almost black.

Organ Pipes

Early March, an accumulation of massive icicles bathed by spray and covered in snow.

A heavy snowstorm has just passed, and Gullfoss - the "Golden Falls" - is heavily iced. Fed by Langjökull glacier, Hvítá - "White River" - plunges 11 metres (36 ft) over rocks to a central platform area before dropping another 21m (69ft) into a chasm.
This structure was on the eastern bank of the top cascade.

A photo of the base of a waterfall. Falling water can be seen in the top left of the image, and there is an open channel with flowing water between two impressive ice walls. On the left, a few dark rocks are visible between the frozen areas but otherwise every surface is covered. The water has solidified into long fingers of cyan icicles and the tops have a deep coating of snow.
