The trip to the north of Iceland - A much overdue post!

Here are some of photos from the trip to the north we did mid-way through this month and also a very brief description with each one. I began writing this post with a large description of the trip but I couldn't really articulate how amazing the scenery was so I think I will let the pictures speak for themselves! 

I can't believe how quick it's all gone here. I really think it will take some time to come back to earth and normality once I'm home but what I'm sure about is that I will be continuing with what I've been working on here. Developing the project further and integrating elements from home into it is something I would like to do and I will of course get around to showing this work once I feel I have consolidated it more!

Once we passed Egilsstaðir it soon became a land of pure white.

Passing stunning mottled black and white peaks was a highlight for me.

Stone stacks which are dotted across the country.

Námaskarð sulphur pits.

Hverfjall volcano crater. We were going to have a closer look but the road wasn't open unfortunately.

Majestical!

Ásbyrgi canyon. Nicknamed Sleipnir's footprint, it is said that the canyon was
 formed when Odin's eight-legged horse, Sleipnir, touched one of its feet to the ground.
