Description
Discover the South Coast at its most spectacular, where thundering waterfalls and black-sand plains lead towards the luminous ice world of southeast Iceland.
The glacier-lagoon landscape reveals ancient blue-white ice, immense mountain scenery and the quiet beauty of Vatnajökull at remarkably close range. A private format adds a comfortable pace, personal attention and room to enjoy the views without rushing from one highlight to the next.
One or more safe formations may be visited before moving higher onto the glacier for crevasses, icefalls and viewpoints. This is a workshop, not a delivered portrait package; bring the camera equipment needed to create your own images.
