3 Panoramas from Northern Iceland

[DRONO]

With 20 hours of daylight, we had about 5 hours of golden hour each night. We really enjoyed our time exploring areas around Akureyri and can't wait to get back!

Mt. Namafjall (Namaskard) a large geothermal area that is like being on another planet. . .that also has busses.

Grjótagjá. This is a long volcanic fissure that runs for miles and houses geothermal pools once used for bathing. I wish I had gotten one a little closer.

Skútustaðagígar | Lake Myvatn: Mývatn is Iceland's fourth-largest body of water, has numerous extinct craters and is very popular with birders in Iceland. There's a wealth of things to explore around here and could easily spend a day there alone.

Godafoss. Stunning waterfall where myth says all the pagan god statues were thrown into when Iceland converted to Christianity. Waterfall of the Gods.

Thanks! There's not a whole lot that can really give a sense of scale to these scenes, but it's such a stunning place to photograph.
