Iceland

With its unique and enchanting natural landscapes, Iceland presents a stunning canvas for landscape photographers. The Nordic island is characterized by its geologic diversity, with the intertwining of its opposing features contributing to its reputation as The Land of Fire and Ice. 

A photo tour in Iceland brings you to a winter escape with monumental glaciers carved with ice caves, breathtaking waterfalls, blue lagoons, and a soft transition into mystical forests, volcanoes, geothermal pools, and hot springs. To top it all off, the Icelandic night sky comes to life with the amazing Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights. If you have a passion for landscape photography, then Iceland is one destination you don’t want to miss out on.

Iceland FAQs

When is the best time to visit Iceland?

May to June is a great time to visit Iceland for photography. In these months, daylight hours are the longest, which is often described as the Midnight Sun. This is the time to capture the extraordinary waterfalls of Iceland, as the Arctic country slowly seeps into a mystical spring.

If you want the allure of a winter wonderland and to photograph the famous northern lights that appear in Iceland, the best time to visit would be in January.

Do I need a visa for Iceland?

Depending on where you’re from, entry requirements to Ireland vary. Some countries do not need a visa to enter Iceland, but many other countries are required to apply for a short-stay visa. Please remember to do the proper research online and find out if you will need a visa or not.

When can you see the northern lights in Iceland?

In Iceland, you have the best chance to see the northern lights in the wintertime. This is the period, from September to April, when the nighttime darkness is at its longest, which allows for the Aurora Borealis to shine easily in the sky.

What is so special about Iceland?

Iceland is a truly extraordinary place to visit because of the sheer abundance of natural beauty that spans the entire country. With its magnificent waterfalls, surreal lagoons, colossal glaciers, and volcanoes, Iceland has a diverse array of landscapes that offers a perfect canvas for photography.
