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.

A snowy mountain with a very uneven surface, visible between two other peaks, the tops of which are not shown. The lumpy mountain is showing patches of dark rock amongst the snowfields. There is clear sky immediately above it, and a grey cloudbank above that.

A lovely pyramidal mountain under a cloudy sky with blue patches. It's almost completely snow-covered with ridges of dark rock showing through. One edge of the flank is running towards the viewpoint, enhanced by light from the left. In the foreground is a river running away from the viewer.

A mountain ridge with a distinctive conical centre peak, all lit from the left. The foreground is a road cleared through deep snow towards some farm buildings. There are bare trees scattered about, some in obviously planted lines. It's quite serene.

Another snowy mountain flank with the same intense blue sky above. The folds in the mountainside are accentuated by the light from the right. Some farm buildings are standing on the flank, lending scale. The foreground snow field is smooth and untrammelled, with fence posts half-buried in it.

Another snowy mountain flank, this time with an unseen river running through it. The sky still cloudy but the valley is sunlit from the left. Dark rock strata are showing through the snow and ice. In a cleft of the valley, some wispy cloud is hanging, its top lit by the sun.

A colour photo of a mountainous landscape under a slightly cloudy sky. The peaks rise on either side of a road with side barriers in places due to the sheer drop. Stretching ahead of the viewpoint is a valley, zigzagging into the distance. The entire scene is covered in snow with dark rock showing through. The sky is intense cyan blue.

A close-up of a collection of huge icicles, capped with snow, at the edge of the waterfall. The turquoise spikes are layered one upon another and have formed a massive ice chunk which has then had a heavy dusting of snow. In the foreground, the water is surging past.

A side view of the drop into the canyon. The gorge is deep and quite straight-sided but with clumps of ice near the waterline. The opposite banks of the crest are sheer but slightly shelved, with ice and snow gathered on every horizontal surface. Part of a natural rock platform is visible at the lower left and, incredibly, there are footprints in it even though the top of the path to it is blocked.

A close-up of the crest of the falls, at the point where it drops to the canyon floor. The foreground is a dangerous-looking ice cornice overhanging the near bank of the ravine. It's covered in snow. At the point where the falls crest there's a large clot of ice and snow, and the turbulent waters behind it are turquoise.

A colour photo of a large waterfall, with blue water cascading over the lip of a canyon. The landscape around it is completely covered in snow and ice but dark rock shows through in a few places. A fenced path snakes down a steep hill towards the lower part of the falls. The sky above is grey and full of snow cloud.

Another colour photo of the same cascade, this time in deep winter. The foreground is now blackened shrubs and brown vegetation, and the cliff face is dark rock. The upper slopes are coated with large patches of snow. The falls is diminished in volume, and the lovely heart-shaped cleft it has eroded in the rockface is shadowed and foreboding. There are still people visible on the path to the top.

A colour photo of a waterfall surrounded by greenery. The foreground is brush and shrubs. The cliff face with the falls dropping within it is clothed in green with a zigzag path climbing the right side all the way to the crest line. A few people are just visible at the top, and there are sheep dotted around the steep meadows. The cascade is wide and white, dropping straight down to a spray-obscured base.
