Birkenstocks and wool socks, drinking some coffee and looking out to this view of the sea ice at 80° North. Portrait by my friend @stevenherteleer 🙌🏼
A winding valley of red rock in East Greenland. This valley was such a unique sight, it really didn’t fit in to the rest of our surroundings. The variance of rock over there really shows how volcanically active this land once was. If you look r
Rising out of the ash.
Towers of ice and near endless repetition in form. One of the many wonders of Mýrdalsjökull. #iceland
Natures contrast. First signs of snow over a dark volcanic landscape. Disappearing just a few hours later, these temporary and unique moments in the highlands are always worth the chase. #Iceland
Venturing onto a glacier on one of those rainy days. Seeking new perspectives is something that often brings @siggiworld and I together. We’ve had some amazing missions over the years, but this was for sure one of the best moments. This remote
Battling the storm. One of my most memorable days this year began by waking up to a fierce winter storm over our ski camp on the slopes of Tindfjöll. We’d driven our modified 4x4’s high up into the mountains and then traversed on ski
Autumn reflections. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I passed this highland lake. It’s usually a really windy location, so I’ve rarely seen the water as still as this. The strange patterns reflected from the mountain above really put

A window into the earth. There’s still time to apply for my upcoming photography expedition here in Iceland this November. Alongside my friend and mountain guide @siggiworld, I’m really excited to head deep into the mountains with our te
The ice pillars of Falljökull. High up in the icefall, where the glacier warps and bends over a steep mountain face, these intriguing structures balance against each other amidst their final stages of existence. The thunderous sounds of crackin
Sailing back from Pyramiden, @astromadman and I crossed our fingers for the clouds to wrap around these intense cliff formations in Billefjorden. Drifting closer to the area, we realised the conditions had lined up. Always crazy to see such a rugged
Looking up to tens of thousands of Brünnich’s guillemots taking refuge on the jagged cliffs of Alkefjellet in Svalbard. @visitsvalbard
A galaxy of ice. Shapes emerge as the waves from distant calving events roll through. These scenes represent a small window into the rapidly changing landscape of the Polar regions.
Layered basalt rock formations. With a sheer drop down beneath the oceans surface, we drifted along in our sailing boat just meters away from the base of this mountain wall in East Greenland. With strange rock formations stretching hundreds of meter
Winter Begins | Photo Expedition. ⁣ Stoked to announce my next photography expedition, this time set in the mountains at home in Iceland. ⁣ ⁣ For five days this November, you will be able to join myself, my partner @brokensundowns and our great frien
Last light over Vatnajökull. The summit of Pálsfjall rises out of its glacial ice surrounds, while the first snow of winter settles over the three scientific huts above Grímsvötn - a volcano situated high up on the ice cap. Ea
From an afternoon around the abandoned buildings of Pyramiden, Svalbard. While on a hike around the outskirts of the settlement, we came across this beautiful Arctic Fox in its summer coat. @visitsvalbard
The Laugavegur trail covers 55 kilometres across the Icelandic highlands. This summer I set out to hike and experience the whole trail within one day. Together with @66north, I documented my journey, hiking solo through some truly beautiful and harsh
