Iceland needs no introduction to photographers and non-photographers alike, so I’ll spare you one and instead say that this February, I was able to visit with my friends at Offbeat. This trip was absolutely excellent in every way. Iceland in the winter is incredible, and I was able to visit a multitude of amazing places with some incredible people. We stayed in some truly excellent places and ate like kings. As if that wasn’t enough, the end of the trip was punctuated with the February 8th eruption of the Svartsengi volcano and our subsequent evacuation from the hotel where we were staying. I was extremely fortunate to have a front-row seat to the eruption as we evacuated, and then was able to enjoy it from a safe distance with many other fine folks, including a reporter from the local news!

Since this trip coincided with my 42nd birthday, I’ll share 42 of my favorite images from this trip! Below the images is also a bonus video of the eruption from the hotel, our evacuation, and later from our observation point. Enjoy!
