Laugavegur Trail

Laugavegur Trail

This is the point in Iceland’s 56-kilometer Laugavegur Trek where orange rhyolite hills give way to river valleys and snow-capped peaks. There is no prelude to this moment; one reaches the height of the pass and is rendered immobile by the totality of the scene. The desire to be a part of this spectacle eventually outweighs the desire to gawk at it, and hikers commence their downward trek.

Ring Road

Iceland’s Route 1, commonly referred to as the Ring Road, traverses over 800 miles of scenic countryside as it encapsulates the rugged interior highlands and connects remote regions of the country to the capital, Reykjavík. This photo of the S-curve on Route 1 was captured on an overcast, damp day. The result was a wet road reflecting a bright white sky amidst a myriad of color.
