The highlands of Iceland are mingling of rocky deserts, jagged peaks, volcanoes, ice caps and small green valleys. 

The humans are tiny compared to the glacier in the background

Solar Storm – Reykjanesviti, Iceland by orvaratli I know I am bit late with the solar storm the other day. It´s been 9 days since now but I have luckily been very busy photographing other things and not had much time to do much editing and posting.

This solar storm and the conditions to photograph it where perfect. Lots of snow on the ground, no wind, clear skies, no moon and lots of Aurora. Its is a once a year combo. http://flic.kr/p/bmJPVn

Snow Arch – Fljótsdalsheiði, Iceland by orvaratli In the highlands of east Iceland there are endless waterfalls rarely photographed. This one only 10min walk from the road falls sideways into a narrow gorge. In the back a small snow arch can be seen. By now it has probably melted and collapsed. http://flic.kr/p/f6XWmT

The waterfall “Kirkjufellsfoss” and Mt. Kirkjufell in Grundarfjordur, west Iceland. I had a long sleepless night driving around Snæfellsnes, visiting many of my favorite treasures of Iceland, during sunset and dawn.

As I love waterfalls I was thrilled when I finaly got to visit this one where you can stand in a cave right behind it.

 It”s next to one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland but still few people go there. Iceland is full of hidden gems
