After months of work (and procrastinating), I am proud to present my collection of images of Iceland. It was indeed a challenge to photograph the landscape of Iceland, mainly due to typical Icelandic weather.

Jökulsárlón Lagoon

Though temperatures remained relatively moderate (35–50° F), the wind, rain and snow of the Iceland springtime were a constant challenge. When the weather did clear however, we were presented with some of the most remarkable light I have ever witnessed. The golden light at sunrise and sunset lasted hours, rather than just a few minutes at lower latitudes. Near the end of our trip, we enjoyed 20 hours of daylight per day (when the sun chose to come out from behind the clouds).

Skaftafellsjökull

We recently returned from a very successful photography expedition to Iceland. Over the course of a month, we circumnavigated the entire island on the ring road and visited many other out of the way locations. Unfortunately, the Eyjafjallajökull volcano forced us to cut the expedition short due to new lava flows and ash on the Laugavegur trail, of which we intended to trek. We are in the process of scanning and archiving the film taken in Iceland and will publish the images to a new Iceland Gallery soon.

The image below are the remnants of icebergs, cleaved off the glacial tongue of the Vatnajökull glacier into the Jökulsarlon glacial lagoon. The icebergs then melt and are swept out to sea where they are battered about and occasionally come to rest back on the black sand beach.
