Dramatic photographs of Iceland's landscape

Images by Canadian photographer Stan Klasz,  published on the Stuck in Iceland travel blog capture Iceland in a rather unique way. They are dark, brooding and dramatic, and Klasz says that Iceland should be considered a natural wonder of the world.

"I visited Iceland in April/May 2015, I’ve wanted to photograph Iceland for a long time and turning 40 this year I made it “Bucket List” request and my wife was kind enough to take care of things at home which allowed me the opportunity," explains Klasz. " This time of year was a real challenge because it was the transition from winter to summer, there was still a lot snow around, the weather was rapidly changing, the landscape had yet to become green, but it allowed for relatively unhindered access to a lot of locales without the throngs of tourists that the summer would bring."

When asked whether there were any particular things he especially enjoyed in Iceland, he answers, "I found the food to be quite remarkable, everywhere we visited always offered a great selection of local cuisine that was always superb. The Icelandic people were very welcoming and extremely helpful and knowledgable. Highlights of the trip for me was hiring a guide to take us up into Landmannalaugar and watching the icebergs flow out to the beach at Jökulsárlón. I have to say there is one thing in particular I disliked about Iceland and that is leaving."
