Switzerland 3. Afternoon at Eigergletsche

After lunch at Kleine Scheidegg, Holly and I took the train up to Eigergletsche while Peter did the Jungfrau trail arriving somewhat puffed along the wonderful moraine ridge walk. The clouds lifted enough to see detail in the glacier, the Hut and eventually the Observatory on the Jungfau Joch. Then down to Kleine Scheidegg and back to Wengen on the train.

Our First Jokulsarlon Dawn, Iceland

We spent a whole day at Jokusarlon Lagoon and beach and then revisited for an hour or so yesterday on our way back to Reykjavik so lots of photo opportunities. These are some from our first dawn at the lagoon. Apart from the wonderful colours and shapes of the ice and how it caught the light, there were also Seals playing in the water. The last image is a double in-camera exposure, attempting to combine movement of water and the sharpness of the ice. Fly home this evening but quite a few blog posts to follow to complete the set!!

Glacier Walk and Ice Caves, Breidamerkurjokull, Iceland

We are coming to the end of our trip (home tomorrow evening) and processing is a bit behind, here are a few from the Glacier Day with quick edits. Great experience to walk over the glacier and down into the Ice Caves.

 

Night Photography at Jokulsarlon Iceland

No aurora but the full moon provided wonderful lighting on the lake and mountains. Last time I visited here in 2008, the lake was full of icebergs but the southerly gales have blown them into another part of the lake.

Glacier Lake, Ice Patterns and Reflections, Svinafellsjokull, Iceland

We spent a couple of hours at this glacier lake as the sun set (colours are As Shot). Amazing reflections on a still day, one looking like an Iceland horse when rotated.  Lots of different ice patterns and formations. Last image of the sunset that was illumination the clouds.
