What's this trip about?

    During summertime from mid-May through July days get longer in Iceland. You will be mesmerized by the “midnight sun,” a natural phenomenon where the sunlight remains visible throughout the night creating a golden glow and giving great photographic results. Be prepared to start early and stay out late hunting and photographing otherworldly scenes in the arctic light. During this tour your main focus is on landscape photography but since Iceland is a colony for the smart and beautiful puffins you will also be looking out for this gorgeous seabird that nests in cliffs and little islands around Iceland this time of year. On this tour you will explore Snæfellsnes Peninsula in West Iceland, the wild vast Vatnsnes Peninsula in North-west-North Iceland, partly the East and last but not least the beautiful south coast. On this journey you will experience Iceland’s surreal beauty with its countless majestic and iconic waterfalls, world famous glacier lagoons, black sand beaches with impressive cliffs and basalt formations, sea stacks and bird colonies with puffins and other sea-birds, the largest glacier in Europe, mountain peaks, big lava fields, moon-like steamy craters, active volcanoes, oh yes, trolls turned into stones, abundant wildlife and more.
