Iceland — Landscape in the Making
1; Iceland — Landscape in the Making; 155 photos; Landscape in the Making; Iceland's awe-inspiring geological features are a gift to nature photographers. The island is one of the most active volcanic regions on Earth, where almost all types of volcanic and geothermal activity can be found. Iceland has one of the most unique landscapes in the world. The fiery wrath of the island’s volcanoes mixed with the land-shaping movement of icy glaciers has created dramatic, breathtaking scenery which is every photography lover’s dream. Rift valleys and geysers, hot springs and rhyolite mountains, columnar basalt formations and lava fields, geothermal areas and lunar-like craters, multicolored glacial rivers and streams are creating endless opportunities for breathtaking images.

Where Lava Meets the Ocean. Iceland coastline.
Iceland — The Coastline
1; Iceland — The Coastline; 161 photos; The Coastline; Iceland’s rugged coastline, of more than 3,000 miles (4,800 km), meets the Greenland Sea on the north, the Norwegian Sea on the east, the Atlantic Ocean on the south and west, and the Denmark Strait—which separates it from Greenland on the northwest. Most Icelandic beaches are black because of the volcanic nature of their surroundings as there is old lava almost everywhere by the Icelandic shores. There are also charismatic mountain peaks, spectacular waves, icebergs melting on the black sand, beautiful basalt sea stacks, small fishing villages, and high coastal cliffs hosting bustling seabird colonies.

Iceland Waterfalls. The Melodies of the Falling Water.
Iceland — The Land of Waterfalls
1; Iceland — The Land of Waterfalls; 96 photos; The Land of Waterfalls; Iceland…the land of fire and ice…and more waterfalls than you can count. All have a distinct character, and each waterfall will leave you in wonder with its shape, size, sound, or the surrounding nature around them. If you are planning a trip to Iceland, you’ve heard of Gulfoss, seen photos of Skógafoss, and you are probably planning to walk behind Seljalandsfoss. In this gallery, you will find some of my favorite Icelandic waterfalls. These range from the most popular waterfalls to off-the-beaten-path destinations. For some, you can just pop out of your car and take a photo. For others, you will have to do some hiking, but that’s an amazing experience all to itself.
