Celestial Arch

En Español más abajo December 9 dawned raining, with overcast skies and the forecast was that the aurora would be quite faint, so nothing boded well for an epic night. However, sometimes perseverance pays off. In the previous days I had extensively scoured the area for novel vantage...

Winter textures

En español más abajo In those days, driving on the roads of southern Iceland was very difficult. A strong, gustywind swept across the coastal plains at the foot of the Vatnajökull glacier. The blizzardwhipped up massive amounts of snow, reducing visibility to a few meters. At times li...

Geldigadalir eruption

Versi-on en español más abajo Until 20:45 on March 19, 2021 the Geldigadalir valley was a quiet place in the shadow of Fagradalsfjall. The earth chose that time and date to split open and let molten rock gush out in an overwhelming spectacle. Thousands of earthquakes shook the Reykjanes peninsula in an orchestrated prelude to the eruption, until the ground gave way to the uncontainable magmatic pressure. In the days that followed, as many as six fissures opened, but soon fissure number five began to ...

  En español mas abajo.   During the winter a large amount of snow had accumulated on the mountains that crowned the fjords. Continuous storms had relentlessly battered the northern coast of Norway, blanketing white from the peaks to the shore. Winter solstice days are hard when you live so far north. The sun never peeks above the horizon. You can only enjoy a few hours of twilight. A twilight that invites you to retreat. But it is also a good time to explore in privacy. It is u...

The Volcano in the Clouds

    En español más abajo. Until 20:45 on 19 March 2021, the valley of Geldigadalir was a quiet place in the shadow of Fagradalsfjall.

Hidden Canyon

  En español más abajo. The walls of this deep valley of glacial origin drop vertically to form a green abyss. At the bottom, a vertiginous waterfall transforms into a river that flows through its depths to the nearby Atlantic shore. A colony of gulls has found perfect nesting conditions here: steep walls protect their offspring from unwanted visitors, with the sea nearby to provide food. I climbed up to this point several times over the course of a three-week journey, but the condi...

The canyon. El cañón

En español más abajo Stuðlagil is one of the largest and most beautiful collections of basalt columns in Iceland. It looked very different until a few years ago, before the course of the Jökulsá á Dal was diverted to build a hydroelectric station. The dark basalt columns flank this spectacular canyon, where the only note of colour is provided by a flowing fountain laden with iron oxide sediments that stain the volcanic rock. I waited for the diffuse and uniform light of the last hours of the ...
