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 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.

Another view of the honey-coloured rock walls of the canyon, its basalt teeth very obvious in the strong sunlight from the right. The river is plunging over the lip of a high waterfall, the base - not visible in this shot - is 44 metres or 144 feet below. This photo is taken from height again.

Another canyon with the same large river running through it. The water is tumbling down the rockface between stumps of basalt rock, and churns powerfully as it leaves the base of the drop. A group of five people are standing near the crest. The sky is clear, but pale.

A colour photo of a deep canyon with brown rock walls, viewed from height. The cliffs are basalt teeth, standing vertically. A river is surging through the gorge to a narrow slot above an elevated shelf where the white water is dropping 27 metres or 88.5 feet to the canyon floor.
