These days, it is very popular to show the fire side of Iceland, for those lucky enough to be able to travel there to photograph the new volcano. Being hard for me to travel there now, I thought I’d show the icy side of it with a couple of images from my archives.
236 sec, f/11, Hasselblad X1D, XCD 21mm
1.4 sec, f/16, Hasselblad X1D II, Voigtlander 15mm

Breathtaking. Iceland is def. on my travel bucketlist. What time of the year were these taken?
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed them! In winter, I always go to Iceland in winter because I much prefer the light and the contrast between black sand / rocks and snow / ice.

Ciao Dan! Thank you very much for your kind comment, glad you enjoyed them!
I'm struck by the similarity between the foreground features in the first photograph and the lines of sand that are created behind bushes in the dunes of Death Valley.

Hey Dan! Indeed, they look similar - in fact, these are black sand dunes, and the strong Icelandic winds plays very well with them in terms of creating ripples and textures!
