Iceland - a destination that sits on many people's bucket lists. It's a land of extremes: lava and ice, endless grasslands, and huge glaciers. While the conditions in summer can feel almost like eternal spring, the conditions expected in winter couldn't be more different. Mirror-smooth roads in arctic temperatures and green-brown meadows under bright sunshine can alternate within a few days.

Continuing your journey can become impossible within a few hours - but those who are willing to reconsider their travel plans hourly will be rewarded with breathtaking landscapes, beautiful coastlines, and unique natural phenomena.

A photographic documentation of the facets of the Icelandic winter. All images have been captured no more than a week apart.
