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 Γrfjall (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 Γxnadalur 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.

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.

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."

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