The Gateway to Iceland
An Ice cave in Vatnajökull ice cap, southern Iceland. Vatnajökull is the largest ice cap in Europe, around 3,100 km³ constanly changing it's formation. I teamed up with the experienced mountaineer and talented photographer
Örvar Atli from Arctic Photo, for an adventures winter tour to the southern part of Iceland for a weekend. Searching the glaciers for icecaves and sculptures along with the standard aurora and landscape hunting. It´s pretty hard to
photograph the real depth of the ice inside the caves, but looking into the walls is like an endless 3d depth of blue ice. There was also plenty of ash inside the cave, from the recent erupting volcano in Grímsvötn last spring. The guy at the Gateway happens to be me.
For safety reasons I'll not recomment anyone to travel into the glaciers without local guiding. We have a recent tragic accident where a photographer died while exploring the glaciers. Never hike alone into the glaciers.
