The tragic collapse of an ice cave here in Iceland cost a life and ruined many others.

Here is why I believe change is needed at many levels to prevent this from happening again.

Always great to help out with glaciology missions. Went out with a team of Belgian scientists the other day to retrieve the seismometers we had placed a week before.

Been a while since I posted... too busy guiding amazing clients!

Here's a shot from a recent ice climbing trip. First time climbers and progressed from zero to clean moves in vertical to slightly overhanging ice!

Today was my last ice cave tour of this season. I'm going to miss those places!

My program for April: WFR (Wilderness First Responder) recertification, a few glacier hikes and snowmobile tours, and a number of alpine treks to the highest peaks of Iceland.

Apparently I've been doing this for a while.

Never forget to put down the camera and just admire the view with your own eyeballs.

We have a new volcanic eruption. The fourth in three years, this one is more powerful almost FOUR km long…

It's nice to be back in the drone game. And a juicy sunrise above our farm this morning was a good opportunity to play with the Hyperlapse feature.

I've just relaunched my website & tour program. 15% off all tours with promo code RELAUNCH!

And a fundraising program for Icelandic Search & Rescue. Book a tour, add a pledge, and I'll double the amount out of my own pocket (...and with that code you STILL save money!)

New risk map for the Grindavík area released.

* Yellow: earthquakes
* Red: sudden rift opening, eruptive opening with little warning, lava, toxic gas
* Purple: Like red, but higher risk. Have an escape plan prepared and a gas mask present

"Aren't Icelandic winters dark and depressing?"

.. no, not really.
