Circular ice arch opening through a snow-covered glacier ridge, banded with volcanic ash, near Katla Ice Cave, Iceland
Bubbling grey mud pool rimmed with sulphur-stained crust below a rust-red ridge, Hverir geothermal field, north Iceland
The basalt ground near Dettifoss in north Iceland, photographed low with the sun sitting just above the horizon. The rock breaks into flat angular slabs with wide fissures running between them — basalt cooling and contracting into blocks, the same jo
Overhead view of white water breaking around dark rock in a river gorge, aerial, Goðafoss, north Iceland
Vasiliki at Stuðlagil Canyon in east Iceland, standing on the columnar rock at the water's edge in a North Face down jacket and leggings and looking up at the walls. The columns rise in dense vertical ranks on the far bank — basalt that cooled slowly
Interior of a blue glacier ice cave, a lone figure silhouetted at the bright mouth, black gravel floor, Iceland
Aerial view along the curved lip of Goðafoss as the river drops over basalt into the pool below, north Iceland
Litlanesfoss in east Iceland, a slender waterfall dropping into a gorge walled on both sides by tall basalt columns. The jointing is unusually regular here — the columns on the left run almost the full height of the cliff in a dense vertical rank, wh
The Skútustaðagígar pseudo-craters on the southern shore of Lake Mývatn in north Iceland, seen from the air. These aren't volcanic vents — they formed when lava flowed over wet ground and the trapped water flashed to steam, blasting circular craters
Skógafoss in south Iceland, photographed head-on from the base with a rainbow standing in the spray at the foot of the drop. The water falls as a single wide sheet from a cliff sixty metres above, with low sun catching the rock on the left in gold wh
Víti at Krafla in north Iceland near Myvatn, an explosion crater holding a lake of opaque turquoise water. The colour comes from mineral particles held in suspension rather than from depth — sulphur and silica washed off the walls, scattering light t
