Daniel,

This particular picture is inside an ice cave. For a sense of scale one person can fit between the top and the bottom of the picture. This particular ice cave was a continuous S shaped with only one person fit in the cave at any given time at most places.

This particular picture is of the roof of the cave which I would estimate would be about 10 meters high.

Truly wonderful pictures. You have reaffirmed that Iceland and Norway need to be high on my bucket list of places to travel.

Your pictures are incredible! I went to Iceland last summer, and your description of KEF and the challenges of getting into Reykjavik are right on. The two major bus operators (Gray Line and Flybus) are reasonably priced and comfortable, but figuring out how and where to get your bus at the airport is a challenge. And you do end up standing outside in a long line hoping there's enough space for you on the next bus. But it's certainly a very cool place to add to your travel resume.

As a fellow photographer, fantastic photos! Iceland is a beautiful country but ungodly expensive.
