Close-up of a Glacier

For the foreseeable future, I will dedicate my Tuesday posts to the landscape of Iceland. This magnificent country stimulates my photographic curiosity and spark at every twist and turn. It is almost impossible to not be at a location where there is some stunning subject to capture. Among these subjects, I am always enchanted by the immense glaciers.

I decided to rework one of the detail shots of Vatnajökull…

Vatnajökull Detail

The Vatnajökull glacier is the largest in Iceland and covers approximately 7,700 square kilometers. In this image, I took a section of the image below and treated it to highlight the delicate structure of the glacier.

This shot is from my August 2022 visit to Iceland and shows a bit of green. In future posts, I will feature some of the shots from February of 2024, which show a very different aspect of this powerful glacier.

    Amazing! If I didn’t know better, I’d say it looks like piles of clothes! But is that its natural color or did you change it?

      It does look otherworldly! I popped the color a bit, but it is natural towards the end of summer. The winter look is whiter and even has blue streaks from the glacial ice.
