    9am in late October, and the sun is rising in the east-south-east. Travelling south we pass Álftavatn, literally "Swan Lake".

    The warm light catches the craggy flanks of Ingólfsfjall, a flat-sided volcanic tuya 551 metres / 1808 feet high.

    Ölfus in south-western Iceland, near Selfoss.

  24. On Reflection

    Halfway through an October afternoon, and we're on the southern side of the Öræfajökull glacier in south-west Iceland.

    The rocks between the two glacier tongues are lit beautifully, and the scene is reflected in the roadside lake.

    The glacier on the left is Stigárjökull and Hólárjökull is on the right.
