Hoffellsjokull Glacier

Hoffellsjökull Glacier - Landscape Photography in Iceland

Photographing Iceland part 2 - Hoffellsjökull Glacier: When planning our photography trip to Iceland, we aimed to visit a few glaciers with a view to trying some abstract photography. The Vatnajokull ice cap in south east Iceland is the largest of Iceland’s glaciers, covering around 9% of the country, and a number of outlet glaciers spill out from its main ice cap towards the south coast. Hofellsjokull is one of these outlet glaciers, and was only a short drive from where we were staying in Hofn so we decided to head up there one evening to see what we could photograph.
