mountaineering photos: Iceland Expedition 1999
Determined not to end up with only a few photos as memories of this trip (like the Dolomites the year before), I took seven films with me to Iceland. I returned with about 250 photos.
Here are just 18 of these photos, including some panoramic views, which have been digitally 'stuck together' (not very well).
Please do not reproduce any of these photos without my permission.
