Days 5-6. (September 18-19)
Laguna Yekulsaurlown.
Vic - Lagoon (206 km)
In the morning, on the way to Laguna, we will drive to the Vatnajokull National Park and go to the Svartifoss waterfall. Here we ill take an hour walk to the waterfall, and wait to see some exciting alien landscapes. The water from the Svartifoss Waterfall cascades down for giant basalt crystals; a sight which is sure to amaze and wow.
Sunset shooting is planned on the lagoon of Jökulsárlón, where will shoot the blue ice that drifts along the surface of the lagoon. This gives us the opportunity to capture some one-of-a-kind photographs ad the ice gently reflects the sun's setting rays.
In the morning and the evening of the next day we will shoot both on the Lagoon and on the beach with black sand, where the surf takes ice from the lagoon. September weather in Iceland is changeable, and we will try our best to capture the ideal light. With luck, we may be able to remove the Northern Lights reflected in the waters of the lagoon and thus shoot some unique photographs. In the afternoon we will relax, watch and discuss the photos, and then head to the neighboring town of Hofn if we'd like.
