Photo-Location Guides – serie

Only accessible for a few months a year, this beautiful travel and photo-location guidebook covers Iceland's enigmatic highlands, one of the most desolate yet beautiful locations on Earth. The interaction of wind, water and fire has sculpted a unique upland environment defined by inhospitable landscapes, extreme weather and rugged topography. A place of beauty, mystery and drama, much of the region's photographic appeal lies in this epitome of the Icelandic archetype, with no permanent habitation, a preference for unmetalled roads and very little infrastructure. A trip to this area of genuine wilderness therefore requires careful consideration and planning to ensure a safe and productive visit. The long and often difficult driving approaches make many of the locations in the highlands unsuitable for hit and run tourism.FEATURINGSOUTHERN HIGHLANDSThe Kjoelur RouteF35 - Kerlingarfjoell MountainsF35 - Hveravellir Hot SpringsF208 & F225 - Fjallabaksleid NyrdriF225 - Raudfoss Waterfall & Raudufossakvisl SourceF208 - Sigoeldufoss WaterfallF208 - Sigoeldugljufur Canyon & Waterfalls F208 - Hnausapollur / Blahylur Crater LakeF208 - Frostastadavatn Lake & Stutur CraterF208 - Landmannalaugar MountainsLaugavegur & Fimmvoerduhals Hiking TrailsLangisjor LakeEldgja canyon & Ofaerufoss waterfallF210 & F232 - Fjallabaksleid SydriF210 - Axlafoss waterfallF210 - Holmsarlon lake & Raudibotn craterF232 & F210 - Maelifell volcanoTHorsmoerk / Thorsmoerk Nature ReserveTHakgil / Thakgil CanyonsLakagigar volcanic fissure & Laki LoopNORTHERN HIGHLANDSF26 - Sprengisandslei F26 - Aldeyjarfoss & Ingvararfoss waterfallsF26 - Hrafnabjargafoss waterfallAskja Caldera & Dyngjufjoell MountainsKverkfjoell mountains
