About this album

An unforgettable journey through southeast Iceland’s glaciers, waterfalls, lagoons, black-sand beaches, and mountain pastures.

From Kirkjubæjarklaustur to Djúpivogur, the Ring Road unfolded through landscapes shaped by ice, water, and volcanic stone. Along the way were moss-covered canyons, drifting icebergs, stormy shores, grazing Icelandic horses, and mountains disappearing into the clouds.

Red picnic tables sit in a vivid green field beneath layered mountains and a shifting Icelandic sky.
