Everyone knows the classic images of Iceland. The famous Skogafoss, The Black Beach, The Blue Lagoon, you name it. On a recent trip to Iceland, we decided we wanted to shoot something a little bit different.

While the Iceland Highlands is a popular area as well, it is much easier to get unique vantage points on a plane. For this series, we flew over the highlands for a couple of hours with varied conditions that Iceland is known for. We ended up with a set of images of both wide landscapes and alien textures straight down to show Iceland’s amazing landscapes.

It is no wonder that a lot of movies and series were recorded in this area, one of them being Game of Thrones.

Iceland is super abstract if you shoot straight down. During the flight, we could see all kinds of crazy textures. Not only were the rivers amazing to see as they weave like veins through the landscape, but the different textures everywhere show the true beauty of what nature is capable of.
