Cold Feet

February: Visiting a frozen waterfall in the Highlands of with a guide, and he led one of our party across the knee-deep snow to a safe viewpoint. I wasn't confident enough to follow them!

Hrafnabjargafoss is only really accessible in summer, because it is located on a highland road that is closed to the public in the winter months. Even in summer, it can only be reached safely in a 4WD vehicle.

A photo of a snow- and ice-covered landscape, under a solid grey sky. The foreground is a snowfield with dark rocks poking through, around the base of the rocks the wind has scalloped the snow showing the depth. The horizon is a similar line of dark rock and snow. In the centre of the shot are two figures, dressed in dark clothing, standing near - but not dangerously close - to the edge of a drop. Just behind them a partially frozen river is running in from the right, and on the left it breaks over the drop. Part of a waterfall is visible, and columns and organ pipes of snow-covered solid ice where the falls has frozen.

    Frigid climates do indeed perform impressive landscapes. Your pic admirably juxtaposes our meager physical presence to nature's majesty I always shiver a bit when I pass by this Minnesota artistry at 20 below zero.
