7 espectaculares instantáneas de Islandia

Hablar de Islandia es hablar de un destino en el que las fuerzas de la naturaleza se manifiestan de una manera sobrecogedora. Magma que brota violentamente en los volcanes, el viento que arrecia sin avisar, hielo que se acumula capa tras capa, la inercia de placas tectónicas en movimiento, cascadas precipitando agua sin prudencia alguna, tierra teñida de todos los colores posibles, todo ello ha dibujado un paisaje que atrae e hipnotiza al viajero desprevenido.

La mejor forma de empaparse del país es propiciando un contacto directo con la tierra, casi íntimo, a base de caminar por senderos y y rutas alejadas de las ciudades, en armonía con el entorno y los seres vivos que han hecho el lugar su hábitat.

Breiðamerkurjökull

The moment my vision came true – I saw this photo in my mind the very first moment I was exploring that huge and long lived, but ever-changing ice cave called Crystal Cave in Breiđamerkurjökull, a tongue glacier of Vatnajökull in Iceland. Then the right night came: clear skies, the Moon was up giving light, G1-class Solar Storm about to hit earth and the «road» leading to the cave along the flood plains of Vatnajökull was really luckily (barely) drivable almost all the way to the cave with a normal USV – so this was The Night! And of course I was feeling fluey! But that wasn’t going to stop me, oh no! And so I dared that crazy «road» (really sick driving!) and then the last bit I fought my way against the almost-hurricane-force winds blowing from the glacier and eventually got my shot! It was a magical moment – I was shouting by myself in the cave – a dream came true! So this one is bit like a repost since it’s actually a combination of two photos taken on the same location, one after another and the other I posted as one of my first photos @Instagram, though that was a screen shot with crappy processing and rather poor quality, so that’s also why a «repost». There was only one frame where the aurora painted that beautiful green on the ice, and I wanted to attach myself there from another frame. Dream big and just make it happen! Wishing you an awesome weekend everybody❣PHOTO INFO: Taken on 1/3/2015 with Nikon D600 with Nikkor 24-120mm f/4 at 24mm f/4 | 30 sec | ISO 1600 | #iceland #icecaves #auroraborealis #northernlights #awesomeearth #wonderful_places #wonderland #night_shooterz #nightimages #mystopover #ig_iceland #everydayiceland #fantastic_earth #icelandtravel #ig_naturelovers #amazingglobepix #planetwanderlust #travelawesome #livetravelchannel #travelphotography #outdooradventurephotos #adventureculture #aroundtheworldpix #TravelingOurPlanet #destinationearth #awesomepix #longexpoelite #longexposure_shots #superhubs_jamal #watchthisinstagood @kathryn_dyer @andyto @georgiakatee
