Iceland E3

Geysers, frozen waterfalls, glaciers, volcanic landscape, thermal springs and stunning scenery. Continuing my journey across 66 deg north. What a spectacular country My first visit to Iceland in March 2009 bowled me over. An unspoilt jewel in the arctic circle Atlantic.

My journey started at Reykjavik and continued along the infamous Route 1. Blizzards, snow drifts, clear skies, horizontal freezing rain...I had it all along the route. An incredibly challenging photo shoot in such conditions. All images captured from the south part of Iceland. Next stop, the north side!

    The fantastic huge geysers at Geysir and Strokkur. The Strokkur erupts every 5-10mins. Some explosions fill the sky whilst others rumble up much quiter. Fascinating to see the energy thrown up from these hot springs. Olympus E3, 7-14mm

    In order to cut out a section of route 1 SE of Reyjavik on my way to Geysir I decided to take the scenic route, through the mountains. The views were magical, as this image shows but unfortunately is was not a wise decision in a bog standard hire car. The road surface deteriorated into a surface like that on the moon, and a tyre blew. Tyre change in a raging blizzard with wind chill at -10C was not nice. There was much relief when I get back onto route 1! Olympus E510, 14-42mm
