Probably the best known photo of Kirkjufell is the one with the Kirkjufellsfoss waterfalls in front of it. However if you explore the area a little, and the weather allows it, you can find a perfect reflection of the mountain. Just look around for photographers with tripods! We were lucky enough to have no wind […]

The black church of Budir, named Búðakirkja, stands out of the surrounding landscape thanks to its color. It is painted black with pitch to protect it from the harsh Icelandic weather. Its black color makes a wonderful contrast to the cloud mountains in the background. Although it is isolated this place is popular for weddings […]

Malarrif lighthouse is located at Snaefellsnes peninsula, very close to Londrangar cliffs. It is very easy to access and depending on where you stand you can view the Atlantic ocean or Snaefellsjokull volcano. There were some pretty big waves crashing on the rocks the day we were there! I really like how the wind was […]

This is Londrangar, a pair of huge rock pinnacles in Iceland. They are volcanic plugs of basalt, that have been hew out from softer surrounding rock by erosion. Iceland has so many places to see and photograph that you can’t be at all of them at the right time to photograph if you have just […]

During our road trip in Iceland we visited this waterfall three times. In fact, the third time was not planned. We were in our hostel when we noticed a forecast for high solar activity. We grabbed our cameras and warm clothing and made our way to Skogafoss. Aurora Borealis had already begun to dance in the […]

Godafoss is a spectacular waterfall located in Northern Iceland. You can visit it from both sides and if you are careful with the slippery rocks you can also get close to where its water falls. And if the sky is clear and you are lucky it’s a great location to view the northern lights. In […]

The first time you see the Northern lights is one of those moments that are engraved in your mind forever! That typical Icelandic night was freezing cold, the air was blowing away our cameras and our lenses were covered with water spray. But there were no clouds, the solar activity was really high and so […]

Another shot of Vestrahorn mountain at Eastern Iceland. Vestrahorn rises out of a black sand beach and dominates the view. That morning the mountain and the sand dunes were painted with a wonderful yellow color while the sun was rising above the horizon. Oh, those dunes are much bigger than they appear in this photograph. […]

Kirkjufell (church mountain in Icelandic) is a 463m high mountain on the north coast of Iceland’s Snæfellsnes peninsula. It is claimed to be the most photographed mountain in the country. We got there one hour before sunrise and there were already 30 photographers who had theirs tripods and cameras ready to shoot! Not to mention […]

Vestrahorn is a breathtaking mountain in south-east Iceland. You will find it in Stokksnes Peninsula, close to the town of Höfn. To get to Vestrahorn you will have to drive about six hours from Reykjavík. Therefore it is most often visited by those travelling the South Coast of Iceland or are on a road trip […]
