Tony is not only very professional, but also very friendly and knowledgable about both Iceland and photography. I can't recommend his services highly enough. I know that I will be a repeat customer.

We decided to take a bit of a drive along the southern coast and visit the glacier near Eyjafjallajökull, the volcano that erupted in 2010 which caused not only great deals of damage to the surrounding area, but also affected air travel around the world.

This was my first time walking on a glacier, and it was as spectacular as I had expected. The temperatures were not very cold (near or just below freezing), so we didn't venture too far up onto the glacier—nor did I explore too deeply into the caves and tunnels melting into the tongue. Even so, the colors and shapes were breathtaking.

We also made a couple of stops at water falls and other interesting scenes along the way. Other than the title of this entry and the aforementioned praise for Tony, I think that it's best to let the pictures speak for this day.
