Until you see it for yourself, it’s hard to believe a place like Iceland actually exists.
Some might say it’s Mother Nature’s ‘best hits’ album. Staggering waterfalls mixed with milky blue water, mindblowing national parks next to glittering ice caves… I could throw a million adjectives at you, but no word better describes Iceland’s beauty than extreme. The entire country drips with a radical appeal hardened by sights that could simultaneously awe you… and destroy you with their force.
I mean guys, there’s beauty, and then there’s Iceland… dominating a league of its own.
And because words just won’t cut it, I’ve rounded up some of the best Iceland pictures I captured during my 10 day trip across the country. Honestly, looking back at some of these, I might be convinced that they’re among the best photos I’ve captured ever. But no credit to me of course – it’s all Iceland, baby.
Some self-indulgent Iceland photography (that will knock your socks off)
Inside the Harpa in Reykjavik
A colourful look at Reykjavik from the HallgrÃmskirkja
Þingvellir National Park
*drooling at this point* … still Þingvellir National Park
Serene views at Laugarvatn Fontana
The incredible Gullfoss
Seljalandsfoss
The boiling mud pots near Lake Myvatn
Some of the most serene sights were just random ones we saw and had to pull over for… like this gorge
Svörtuloft Lighthouse
Gatklettur, AKA the Arch Rock
the Buðir black church
Hraunfossar
The Blue Lagoon
*wipes drool off keyboard*
Sooo, are you convinced? 😉 Let me know in the comments if you’ve ever been to Iceland (or plan to)

The photos of the snow-covered mountains are beyond stunning. Iceland is one of my bucket list locations – I’ve GOT to pet an Icelandic horse before I die, hah! 🙂

Planning a trip to Iceland next November – can’t wait. Just wondering – with your waterfall images are you using a tripod for those?
Christina Guan says
Hi Lisa, ahh that’s awesome! I hope it won’t be too cold haha. I did have a Gorilla Pod with me on this trip so that’s how I got the waterfall shots but you can always try just laying it flat wherever you can perch it as well if you don’t want to carry one!
