Iceland's landscape is unlike anywhere else on earth — a raw combination of volcanoes, glaciers, black sand beaches, and moss-covered lava fields that changes dramatically between seasons. Whether you are chasing the midnight sun in summer or blue-hour light over a snow-covered highland, planning your shots with accurate GPS coordinates is key. Share your tips, gear recommendations, and favourite viewpoints below.
- Use a wide-angle lens (16–24mm) to capture Iceland's dramatic skies alongside the foreground.
- The Golden Circle, Snæfellsnes Peninsula, and Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon are top landscape photography destinations.
- Download our KML/GPX landscape map to pre-load over 1,000 curated viewpoints on your GPS device.
- Shoot during the 'blue hour' — Iceland's long twilight creates soft, even light ideal for landscape photography.
- A polarising filter helps manage reflections on lakes and reduces glare on icy surfaces.
