<\/figure>\nPictures by Ivar Eythorsson<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Highlands of Iceland<\/a> are located in the centre of the country. The inhabited plateau is situated above an altitude of over 500 metres on a mostly unliveable volcanic desert. In fact, the majority of Iceland’s impressive natural attractions are located in the Highlands. <\/p>\n\n\n\nTravel and landscape photographers Ivar<\/a> and Daniel<\/a> say that the Highlands are their favourite spot to photograph in Iceland due to the serenity, natural beauty, and the contrasts that surround this location. The Highlands are flooded with many mountains, which reach between 1,000 and 2,000 metres in height, where the majority are covered by glaciers. From glaciers, to volcanos, to oases, the highlands have it all! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nIt’s so unique and the beauty is surreal. There are so many different textures, different colours… your options are endless.<\/p>\nIvar Eythorsson<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nAs the Highlands are only accessible for four months in the year \u2013 from June to September \u2013 the unique feelings of nature are preserved. Due to the limited access, the best and only seasons in which visits are possible are the summer and fall. Ivar<\/a> recommends that inspired explorers visit the Highlands in the morning, evening, or night hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe access to the Highlands is fairly easy and Ivar recommends to travel around in a Jeep, as you may have to cross deep rivers, or drive on difficult roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If possible, Daniel<\/a> recommends to shoot aerial photography in the Highlands, as it is the best way to share the moody and dark vibes that surround the scenery in this area. <\/p>\n\n\n\nKeep in mind that the Highlands of Iceland are delicate, the slightest damage can result in irreversible erosion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pictures by Julia Pertek <\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nAn hour and a half drive east of Reykjav\u00edk, one will stumble across the Br\u00faarfoss Waterfall<\/a>, or also referred to as the Bridge Falls. Compared to other waterfalls throughout Iceland, the Br\u00faarfoss Waterfall is relatively small, however the existing beauty is unmatchable. The waterfall is often times referred to as a hidden gem by both locals and seasoned travellers. <\/p>\n\n\n\nTravel and landscape photographer Julia<\/a> prefers to capture drone images in the location and compare the changes through the different seasons. Although the colours of the scenery change depending on the time of the year, the water always maintains its undeniable blue colour. Because of the water’s tone, the waterfall has been nicknamed “Icelands Bluest Waterfall.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nBr\u00faarfoss is a unique waterfall that cascades into a very deep gorge. The water is always incredibly blue, no matter the season.<\/p>\nJulia Pertek<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nContrary to the Highlands of Iceland, the Br\u00faarfoss Water is available to visit at any time throughout the year. It is a popular hiking area due to its proximity to Reykjav\u00edk, however it is not yet overcrowded with tourists. Don’t forget, if you brave the hike then pack sturdy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although it is open year-round, Julia<\/a> recommends visitors to see the beauty of the waterfall in the summer months, ideally in the evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Banner_2.1-1.png?resize=740%2C118&ssl=1\")

He believes that the great contrast and the dominant scenery contribute to Iceland’s rich background and diversity.
