Flight to Iceland


Verschneite Berge Islands aus dem Flugzeugfenster

At last, here come the pictures from Iceland! At the beginning of March I flew from Frankfurt to Reykjavík/Keflavík to explore the south coast for nine days. Just before Iceland the sky cleared, and we had a wonderful view of the coast, from the Vestrahorn (where we later had a shoot with Sabrina and Andy) to Keflavík.

And then at last we were there. The international airport is in Keflavík on the Reykjanes peninsula, around 50 kilometres from Reykjavík – so your first drive in Iceland takes you through lava fields.
