Back to summertime, and this colour photo shows the ravine through which the river flows, downstream from the waterfall. Tall hills are surrounding the canyon on the far side, which are covered in grass and scree. The top of another waterfall is just visible further along the gulley.

Another shot of the same waterfall, this time in winter. The face of the falls is now frozen almost solid, large icicles have formed and are covered with a dusting of snow. The river approaching the crest is surfaced with ice which has been hidden beneath a layer of snow, dark rock is still visible but is heavily iced.

A colour photo of a pretty waterfall dropping between rocky walls and green grasses. The sunlight from above is catching the almost straight crest and highlighting it. The river approaching the drop is quite flat and calm, and the base of the cascade is white foam in the turquoise water.

Sunset behind a mountain range with glaciers dropping to ground level. The foreground is indistinct brown pasture land. The sky is filled with darkening orange cloud with some lighter patches showing through which would usually, at this time of night, be darkening blue but instead are shades of yellow and grey. It's strangely beautiful.

Another colour photo, this time looking away from the sun. The sky is filled with odd grey clouds, lit from above. Between them, a fine blue misty veil is visible against the clear sky. The base of the shot is a range of mountains, one of which is Herðubreið.

A colour photo of a sky filled with greyish orange clouds. There's a range of mountains at the bottom of the shot. The sun is shining through the cloud, producing a strange orange light. There are sunbeams across the clouds but even these are slightly unfamiliar.
