Waterfalls

Did I say I love waterfalls? Plenty of them here in Iceland


Gulfoss


Skogarfoss


Seljalandsfoss

Oxararfoss

Katla ice cave

Away from the paved roads into an alien world. Desolate. Windy. And once again bloody cold


The target is Katla glacier in Iceland. Cold winds have covered the icecap during many centuries in volcanic dust


A hostile but beautiful environment


I’m glad we came in these specially prepared ‘super jeeps’ that are able to drive over rocks and ice and through small glacier rivers

Geothermal activity

Bubbles of boiling hot vapour push the surface upward until they break through and Strokkur erupts. In the Netherlands we call these geothermal steam-eruptions ‘geisers’. This generic name is derived from this specific spot: Geysir in Iceland…


Steamy Strokkur. Minus ten degrees Celcius (fourteen Fahrenheit) makes it bloody cold right next to this boiling pond.


Geothermical area around Geysir and Strokkur. Steam everywhere…


Another geothermal area is Krysuvik or Seltun. A small path leads through the hot springs and steamy rivers.


The smell of sulfur is all around.
