About this workshop
Arctic Exposure has been offering the Aurora Borealis & Ice Cave Photo Workshop for the past eight years, and we can confidently say that we have become experts in this area of Iceland. During this photo workshop, we focus on the breathtaking northern lights (aurora borealis) and the incredible ice caves that you find in many of Iceland’s glaciers.
We will explore many of the better-known locations of Iceland as well. Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls, Reynisfjara black sand beach and the glacier lagoon, among others, along the South Coast. These are all the striking locations of Iceland that you may recognize from travel programs, movies and thousands of traveling photographers. The frozen winter landscape enhances the beauty of these unique locations and creates a perfect background for northern lights photography.
We will also visit many lesser-known locations along with the gorgeous ice caves. Every year, new caves are molded by the glaciers and each year, we have to explore for new caves and see if the older ones are safe, or still there. For these expeditions, we use our specially modified super trucks for transport and get as close as possible to the glaciers and ice caves.
During this workshop, our focus is on you and helping you improve your photography in astonishing locations. South Iceland has amazing soft light in the winter, glaciers and ice turn into magical sculptures. With only eight participants per group, everyone will have time with our skilled photography guides who are happy to answer every question that might come up. We welcome all photographers, from beginners to advanced. This is the perfect photo workshop to get your first taste of Iceland and explore the stunning glaciers in winter in contrast with the black volcanic sand.
