Warped in the wake of our sailing ship, the reflections of these icebergs become a work of art amidst the still arctic waters of this fjord.
On an afternoon hike around the outskirts of Ilulissat, I came across this energetic group of sled puppies. These pups are always full of character, running free around the town up to the age of six months old. Shot on assignment for @airicelandconnect. #greenland
Craters of the highlands. I stumbled upon this location on a late summer afternoon last year. Ever since it has stuck with me as one of the most interesting landscapes that I’ve come across out there! #iceland
One of those quiet moments looking up at hundreds of birds as they circle around this mountain’s peaks, dipping in and out of the fog. Some of the most memorable moments are those appear out of nowhere. Even if the scene only exists for a tiny moment in time, it always tends to leave a long lasting impression. #iceland
Labyrinth | Photography Workshop. I’m super stoked to announce our summer workshop for this year. Hosted by myself, @brokensundowns and @donalboyd, we’ll be leading a team of five people into the southern side of the highlands to capture the glowing midnight conditions and moody weather of the summer. Amidst our daily travels we’ll be focusing on teaching photographic techniques when we’re out in the nature, and then post processing techniques while we’re hang in the cabins in between shoots, all while cruising around in our Land Rovers. The trip outline and all information can be found on my website via the link in my bio. Peace✌🏼 #iceland
On a classic rainy day here in Iceland, these peaks briefly appear in and out of the clouds. It‘s usually quite a peaceful experience to take a minute to chill and look up at the clouds as they roll over the mountains ✌🏼 #iceland
Crater rows. Stretching across these desolate ash covered lands, volcanic craters can be found all over the Icelandic highlands and beyond. #iceland
A classic aerial scene from the icefjord. Sometimes there are old tracks to follow in the sea ice from the morning trips out, making the journey back to land a little faster than pushing through unbroken ice.
Misty summit chills.
Cloudy days floating out in Ísafjarðardjúp and looking back at the light beaming down over the mountains of @visitwestfjords.
Winter kayak mission. From the surface, the underlying ice sheet seemed relatively flat. Taking to the air with my drone, the strange structures beneath the melt water could be seen. I always find it super interesting to think how quickly these scenes can vanish once the warmer weather returns, melting back into the moss covered rocky valley that exists beneath.
Stoked to back amongst the ice here in Greenland. Heading out yesterday with the legends at @worldofgreenland, we witnessed these calm reflective waters. With the day before being completely covered in sea ice in this area, it’s incredible to see how fast the conditions can change out on the fjord. #greenland
One of those moments where you can see the whiteout conditions rolling straight towards you from the coast. Always a fun time when it hits 🤙🏼 @frontrunneroutfitters

Í kafi. Bright summer skies send rays of light down into the water, illuminating the ice. Both @donalboyd and I have wondered for a long time what it looks like to photograph the icebergs of Jökulsárlón from underwater. Last summer we geared up to make it happen, and today we chose reveal our first glimpses at the same time here online. Before heading into the water we’d both sought the advice of local professionals on the correct equipment and techniques to keep us safe in the water. Sticking to small icebergs to avoid potential dangers of flipping, we worked for days to find interesting shapes and perspectives underwater. Thanks to the legends at @aquatech_imagingsolutions for lending us some solid housings to shoot in the water. We’re both stoked to share more from this project in the coming months. #íkafiísland
Birdseye views down over the Arctic.
As the winter comes to an end, pools of melt water flood the landscape. Sometimes this water flows over underlying sheets of ice, creating these vivid blue colours. After stumbling upon this location from the air, my good friends and heli pilots @mylifeasahelicopterpilot & @solveigpeturs invited me on a mission to paddle in the melt water. With my kayak and some SUP’s from @arcticsurfers packed in our 4x4’s, we drove through some truly muddy conditions to get out to this valley. Not knowing if the water had frozen since they first spotted it from heli, we were all super stoked to arrive to this view 🤙🏼
Frozen solid. This view goes on for miles out there, it really feels like you’ve entered a different world. #greenland
Breaking through the sea ice, we headed back to land after exploring in the fjord. With the thickness of the ice getting quite high, the fishing boats trailed behind in our tracks. Was a solid convoy 🤙🏼
Gazing down over the frozen world of Ilulissat’s icefjord. Whether you’re right up close aboard a ship or flying up above with @airicelandconnect, the textures of the sea ice are always a mesmerising sight. With the winter season coming to an end, the sea ice will soon disappear, making way for some crisp clear arctic waters once again. #greenland
