Iceland: Wildlife and Landscape

Jun 2011

By: Laura Crawford Williams

This is the very delayed update about our trip to Iceland and the excitement with Grimsvotn Volcano. Unfortunately, the ending really isn’t that exciting. In the end, we were able to get on the first plane out of Hofn, 5 days after the eruption. We even made it to our international plane on time. Overall, it was a great trip but difficult as well. The weather was severe the entire time, not just post volcano. It was cold, wet, and windy – to the extreme. Locals told us it was unusual weather for Spring. But, we shot every day and survived the elements. I’ve posted a gallery of images from the rest of the trip below.
