From Kirkjubæjarklaustur we headed east toward the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon – an adventure, wild and enticing. Here are the first images from our trip to the sandur plains just before Skaftafell National Park, a beginning full of anticipation.

Landscape and freedom to fly

The landscape opened up with cloud-covered mountains, finally mostly free of snow, a contrast between sky and earth, rough and delicate. The drone could take flight again, and the aerial shots captured the vastness – a dance between nature and height that touched the soul.
