We arrived in iceland a day after the first snowfall of the season.

Driving countless kilometers every day, we spent two weeks travelling from the Westfjords along the south coast all the way past Vatnajökull glacier to the east. Our journey was marked by typical icelandic weather; conditions which changed drastically within a matter of minutes. One episode ended up with my drone drifting several kilometers over a maze of glacial runoff in a soft breeze that turned into 80km/h strong winds. Another excursion started in bright sunshine, but quickly turned to a frantic spring back to the car as a storm unleashed on us with marble-sized hail stones.

Cliffs and sea stacks on Iceland's south coast
Red-roofed farmhouse below snowy mountains
Glacial river channels from above
Sun over a volcanic landscape
Snowy lava field from above
Lake and snowy lava seen from a drone
Kirkjufell mountain and its waterfalls
Sea stacks off a black-sand beach
Black-sand beach and surf from above
Road curving across a snow-covered plain
Ice on black sand from above
Snow-capped mountains under blue cloud
Waterfall seen from inside a cave
Waves crashing against basalt sea stacks
Straight road towards snowy mountains
Lone sea stack in rough surf
River running through a green canyon
White church with a red roof
Lake and snowy hills from the air at sunset
Road winding below a snow-covered mountain
Road through a snowy landscape under cloud
Straight road towards snowy peaks under a dark sky
