  • In this episode I'll share all the information I have on Ice Caves in Iceland. How to get to the ice caves and how to photograph the ice caves. Ice cave season is from November until and through March. Out of season the caves are too dangerous to enter. Ice caves and glaciers are extremely dangerous and that's why you have to get yourself a glacier guide. Guide To Iceland and Iceland Photo Tours arrange these tours and I have links to booking the tours here:

    Another fascinating episode Mads and I cant think of ever seeing a location series that has offered up so much variety as much as yours. Can see why the final images of the caves will be special when their structure changes due to the climate and the images will never be replicated. Great images and loved the contrasts and shapes

    Why did stop putting the settings in the photos, like you did in the early videos from Iceland?

    • @MadsPeterIversen
      @MadsPeterIversen  5 років тому +2

      The main reason is you can't really use them as I often mix and blend many exposures, secondary it doesn't look good in the presentation of the photo, thirdly I don't want the presentation to be about the settings but about the photo itself :)

    • @andregomes8375

  • @carlosvanvegas
    @carlosvanvegas 5 років тому +1

    Might be a silly question, but when taking photo's in daylight, there is a strong white light presence in some shots, have you or is it possible to go to these caves either sunrise/sunset if the sky was say on fire with deep oranges/reds, could that then be captured in the caves the contrasts between a fire and ice look might be a potential shot with suck bold colour contrasts?

  • @dimitristsagdis7340
    @dimitristsagdis7340 5 років тому +1

    You mention November to March for ice caves but how does that compare with the rest of Iceland locations. For example. if one visits in March, will the other Iceland locations outside the caves be very cold, rainy, not much water in the waterfalls, weak auroras... and the caves being too dirty because of all the ice melting/end of visit season? I'm trying to figure out one season/month where most locations that you show in your Iceland videos look their best and the weather is not too adverse to capture them :-) Unsure if this is possible but certainly would like to try.The cave/photo with the two exits is epic by the way:-)

    • @MadsPeterIversen

However you told me the northern lights would still be visable, and boy were you right, we witnessed the most amazing aurora at the eystrahorn, thanks again, and keep up the good work , here is a link to one of my pics
