Iceland

[Matt..]

I have just returned from a 12 day road trip around Iceland. I drove 2,500 miles, and here are some of the photos:



Landmannalaugar


Skogafoss


Wrecked C-47




Vik


East coast


Myvatn cave


Krafla lava fields


Kirkjufell


The midnight sun at Godafoss


~120m down inside a volcano


Iceland is a stunning country that's a 3hr flight away. If you like the outdoors then you should go there!


There are a few more photos here:

Great set, this one for me is a stand out because I love direct sun, clone out the flare bits and its a total winner.

I went in 2009, albeit for a weekend. I would love to go back and do Highway 1 and see the place proper.
Managed to capture the northern lights while I was there.
Fine pics, stunning scenery, I'm jealous!

Great set!

[miniman]

Very nice indeed.

[Scooby72]

Very nice photos.

Went there in 2010, what a mad place, just wish I'd had a better camera.

[Sprouts]

Beautiful. Good work.

[Stiglet80]

Brilliant set.

Very Nice, I'd kill to get a trip out there, will do it someday when I can actually afford it. Was going to do it next year but i bought a house this year instead.

after looking at these photos I think i want the trip to Iceland more :P

I’d agree with this…

Excellent shots, I've always wanted to go to Iceland.

The 3rd shot of the plane was on Bear Grylls on Monday night, he spent the night inside it.

Great shots, however it's got me wanting to go back and complete the small section of road we didn't travel on on the south east corner (from the Ice Lagoon round towards where the ferry comes in).

Mmm I feel a journey coming on next year.

Just looked back - I was there in 2008.

Here's my snaps from the trip (including some from the Faroes)

Is that the plane Bear Gyrlls used on one of his shows?

[Matt..]

I logged the route too, you can see it here:

I would recommend the place to anyone. It's so close that it has to be worth the trip!

Agree with Robbo. This is a worldy, well done
