With Iceland having become one of the ‘must see’ places for so many in recent years it has become quite a trendy place for photographers to gather.
I am in no way a landscape photographer and feel much more comfortable with wildlife, however as Iceland has kind of become home in the last years for me, I have taken some landscape images.
Many images below are of the mountain Kirkjufell in the small town of Grundarfjörður. Now almost so photographed it has become a kitsch image Kirkjufell’s distinctive shape and waterfall is what draws hoards of tourists to her. However before she became so famous I was working in Grundarfjörður and got to visit and photograph her alone, in all seasons. Such a pleasure.
During 2021 when the Fagradalsfjall volcano erupted in Iceland I was lucky enough to visit a number of times. One time happened to be in a helicopter, when I was invited by some whale watching guests to join them on a helicopter ride over the volcano and the south of Iceland as they had a space free! The glacier rivers and highlands in the south of Iceland are a photographers dream from the air.
