About this trip

Explore the ‘Land of Fire and Ice’ where snow-capped peaks rise above glaciers and active volcanoes rumble. Walk along a black sand beach strewn with glittering bergy bits. Discover geysers and fumaroles and bubbling mud pools, or explore spectacular fjords and impressive waterfalls, in one of the most geologically active places on earth.

We will photograph Iceland during the midnight hour and into the early mornings when we are guaranteed to have the best light and the chance to avoid the crowds!
