Iceland is famous for its gorgeous waterfalls, mountains, glaciers, beaches and, of course, the Aurora Borealis. Its icebergs and volcanoes combine to create diverse landscapes that offer otherworldly beauty and extreme contrasts.
The ever-changing weather makes photography a challenge. In winter the sun never rises more than eight degrees above the horizon and the dramatic landscape is caked with ice and snow.
This photo essay explores some of the iconic coastal views, mountains, volcanoes, glaciers, beaches and landmarks that Iceland has to offer.
