Snow Dome

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

The other mountains are Innra-Sandfell and Femra-Sandfell. BlΓ‘skΓ³gabyggΓ° in the western Central Highlands of #Iceland.

Glacial Reflection

A sunset boat ride across FjallsΓ‘rlΓ³n lagoon, towards the snout of FjallsjΓΆkull glacier.

The mountain on the left is Γ†rfjall (407m/1335ft) and the hook-shaped tongue on the left is HrΓΊtΓ‘rjΓΆkull - the 'Ram Glacier'.

Ox Valley

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

I particularly love this spot, dropping down into Γ–xnadalur from KrΓ³kΓ‘rdalur, but I'd never seen the road picked out so clearly before.

Glacial Motion

SvΓ­nafellsjΓΆkull ("Pig Mountain Glacier") in the midday sunshine, farm buildings at its foot lending scale.

The dark lobe near ground level at the snout is from a landslide - the glacier shrinkage has left the side walls dangerously unsupported, and the collapse is accelerating the melt of the ice beneath.

October, HornafjΓΆrΓ°ur in south-eastern #Iceland.

Sunset Moonrise

4pm and the sun is beginning to set in the west-southwest. The semi-frozen fjord waters are partly reflecting the cyan sky, and parts of the opposite bank are picking up the late sunlight.

February: HrΓΊtafjΓΆrΓ°ur in north-western #Iceland.

Floating Islands

July: This is HvalfjΓΆrΓ°ur* in western #Iceland. What looks like an island in the fjord is actually a spit of land curving away from the viewpoint.

In the background is SkarΓ°sheiΓ°i mountain range, with SkarΓ°shyrna on the left.

Cloaked

September, and the vog from an eruption in a different part of #Iceland is causing some unusual atmospheric conditions around the island nation.
In this one, sunbeams are being intensified by the gaseous haze high above.

"Thus sometimes hath the brightest day a cloud;
And after summer evermore succeeds
Barren winter, with his wrathful nipping cold:
So cares and joys abound, as seasons fleet."
- #ShakespeareSunday, Henry VI, Part II

#WaterfallWednesday

A slightly different viewpoint today, this is the top of GoΓ°afoss waterfall in Þingeyjarsveit, north-eastern #Iceland. Water from the SkjΓ‘lfandafljΓ³t river falls from a height of β‰ˆ 12m (40ft) over a width of β‰ˆ 30m (100ft) in four separate drops.

This is a view from the west bank, overlooking the crest of all four.

Shining Sky

03:30 on an August morning, and insomnia had taken over again.

Through the bathroom skylight I could see something strange above us, so I fetched my camera quietly so that I didn't wake anyone, and opened the blinds in an empty room.

It was the best display of #noctilucent cloud I've ever seen in my almost 70 years.

Then I woke my partner so he didn't miss it!
