Advanced Photographic Tour – Iceland Interior

22-28th of June 2012 and 3-9th of August 2012

(7 days 6 nights)

This particular interior route of South Iceland is in my opinion among the most varied and most spectacular landscapes to be found in Iceland. The young land (only 3 million years old) is the main reason that this area is so unique. Here we find just a few cottages used by hikers and farmers, gravel roads and the occasional bridge - not much else is affected by man.

To base Accommodation at Hrífunes Guesthouse all the time will increase the time we can actually photograph. From my experience about 1-2 hours per day get lost only by changing accommodation, which I thought could be better spent behind the camera.

On our Photo Tour we will see a mixture of volcanic landscapes; black volcanic sands, mountains, clay, lava, light colors of rhyolite, moss, streams, rivers and geothermal heat that mixes with the ice and snow. So basically this whole area is a fiesta for the camera and that is why I always like to go back there. In addition, the ever-changing weather conditions provide us with sheer endless photo opportunities.

My Experience in the Interior:

- When traveling in the interior you usually wave or say hello to the ones you meet.
That means there is not a lot of traffic :))

- Peaceful, we have an expression for it : Fjallakyrrd - silence of the mountains

- The day is not predictable in any term

- Being there somehow brings things back to basics
