iceland part iii

i just realized i had forgotten to post these photos from my trip to iceland! oh i really miss it. i hope you don't mind my travel-related posts, some of my favorite things to photograph are beautiful landscapes and new exciting places (though i do have some portrait-y photos to post too). this holiday vacation is going to be a busy one, i counted that i'll be boarding a plane altogether 12 times. i'll mostly be tromsø and denmark, which may not be particularly exotic (at least for me) but in january i'm going to china for 10 days. i just can't wait! but before i can get too excited i have to finish all my exams. so i'll stop here and get back to reading biochemistry, while you can scroll down and dream yourself away to beautiful iceland (like i just did while going through them):

iceland part ii: reykjavik

during our stay on iceland i met up with an old friend from when i lived on svalbard and he showed me around reykjavik.

iceland part i

the second week of the new year my mom and i travelled to iceland for a week. My mom was going to attend a geological conference, and i came with. i was just so happy to finally visit iceland! it was amazing, despite short days and storm and snow and rain and heavy clouds. it was still as incredible as i had imagined it, and it made me want to visit again so i could see it all without snow as well!

these photos are from our first day in iceland, where we took a tour down the south shore, past the volcanoes Eyjafallajökull and Katla and down to the small town of Vík. as you can see the weather didn't change much, only the light.
