Black beaches stretch along the Atlantic, Geysers spout from geothermal fields, dramatic volcanic peaks, sheer sea cliffs, gushing waterfalls, steaming eruption and crunchy lava flows make up the diverse and fascinating eyeful of the cinematic landscapes in Iceland.
It’s a vast volcanic laboratory where mighty forces shape the earth.
Amazing sunset at Seljalandsfoss. One of the best known waterfalls in Iceland.
Tried to capture the sunrise two days in a row with this one but sadly it was too cloudy and raining. Maybe I'll have more luck on my next trip ;).
Kirkjufell (which means Church mountain) is a 463m high mountain on the north coast of Iceland's Snæfellsnes peninsula.
The tiny pitch-black church in Budir, west of Iceland.
The first church was built there in 1703. It was later demolished and a new one constructed. In 1816, the parish was abolished and the church was dismantled. One of the ladies of the parish fought strongly for a new church and eventually received a royal permission to build a new one, which stood ready in 1848. In 1987, it was reconstructed and consecrated the same year.
Kerið crater
Formed about 6,500 years ago and lies at the northern end of a row of craters known as Tjarnarhólar. It is oval, about 270 m long, 170 m wide and 55 m deep, the depth of the water at the bottom varies between 7 and 14 m.
Seljalandsfoss is one of the best known waterfalls in Iceland and it's possible to walk behind it, but I gotta tell you the mist coming from it doesn't make it that easy at all to take a picture! It's pretty crazy! But the feeling you get when you get out of there all wet from head to toe with your gear is amazing!
This waterfall of the river Seljalandsá drops 60 metres over the cliffs of the former coastline.
It was really foggy that day we could barely see the road and when we got there the sky cleared just above us, clouds were all around and Sun rays between the cliffs! It was amazing!
Clear sky just above us, clouds all around, and a full rainbow! Amazing moment!
Svörtuloft lighthouse sits atop breathtaking cliffs 8 km drive southwest of Hellissandur in Iceland.
Famous geyser erupting every several minutes & shooting water up to 70 m into the air.
After crouching there for a while trying not to slip on the mud, waiting for the sunset. The sky scattered at the perfect timing and was able to capture one of my favorites from the trip 🙂

Öxarárfoss is a waterfall in Þingvellir National Park, Iceland. It flows from the river Öxará over the Almannagjá.
Those unique shapes of frozen lava are laying on Djúpalónssandur beach, one of the highlights of Snæfellsnes peninsula wonders. The Beach is covered by countless little black stone which were shaped by the non stopping forces of the ocean and the wind. It's breath taking and so unique to Icelandic landscape.
