Iceland in Winter

Ever since my visit to Iceland in 2014, I was keen to return to experience the winter landscapes. I achieved this objective in January 2020. In contrast to the first visit, daylight hours were very short and the icy conditions were treacherous for driving and walking. Warm clothing and crampons made it possible to enjoy this season and have another wonderful photographic experience.
