Day 6 Early morning at Jökulsarlon, on the lagoon itself or on the black sand beach nearby, where small icebergs break into pieces, if the tide is right. Jokulsarlon, magnificent glacial lagoon. In the afternoon, photography near Höfn, in beautiful surroundings. Night at Höfn.
Icebergs on beach, Jökulsarlon
Day 7 Another chance at Jokulsarlon if necessary, then drive to our starting point along the south coast. The drive is long enough and will not allow long photo sessions as the previous days. But it still offers a second chance on several sites, if the light is good. Night at Reykjavik. Night photography if possible.
Day 8 Early morning departure (depending of flight times).

Fitness
A good level of fitness is required.This trip in winter to Iceland is more physically demanding than most of our other trips. In Iceland, breaks at the hotel are usually not possible and the days are long. Walks of moderate level are possible. You should therefore be able to adapt to these conditions and be in good general fitness for a duration of 8 -9 days.
Weather / clothing
Clothing: The climate in Iceland in winter can be difficult. So take windproof and breathable Goretex and layers of warmer clothes. Woolen hats and gloves, waterproof and breathable pants.
We will not walk long distances with equipment. However access to the best views suppose access walks and exploration. You must be physically fit and able to carry your gear and tripod for a few hours. Bring good walking shoes (all leather shoes are recommended), a pair of gaiters can be useful.

• Accommodation: Accommodation will be in B & B / guesthouses
