Stokksnes, Iceland · 12 – 18 February 2024
Black sand and Vestrahorn
Six nights on the Stokksnes peninsula, among auroras, wind and raking light on a basalt mountain.
The story
How it went
Stokksnes is unforgiving: the wind cuts through you, the black sand gets into everything and the weather changes every twenty minutes. I waited four days for the right light on Vestrahorn. When it came, an hour before sunrise, with the dunes reflected in the wet sand, it lasted less than ten minutes. On the fifth night the sky cleared and the aurora did the rest. I came home with a full card and frozen fingers.
