Also, as always on this site, photographs with frames the colour of this text can be clicked so as to view a larger version. I usually break large articles and portfolios into separate smaller pages to make loading faster, but in this case I wanted to maintain a continuous narrative. This page has a large number of photographs and therefore may take a while to load on computers with dial-up connections. I hope that this page helps you in planning a visit to the land of fire and ice. Iceland is without any doubt the most visually exciting place that I have ever photographed. This article and portfolio are intended to provide not a travel guide, but rather an inspiration for landscape and nature photographers seeking a new and challenging location to explore.
