First post here, should be better than the cesspit Twitter has become! Anyway, I’m fascinated by Iceland, Poland, Volcanology, Earth Science and Travelling

Here’s a snippet of recent travel adventures I’ve been on, 3 from Iceland and 1 from Mt Etna!
Some of my favourite recent photos using my new SeeStar S50!

I feel absolutely rotten. I was meant to take my girlfriend out tonight but I’ve been bed bound. I feel as if I’ve really let her down

It was eerie and a really feeling heading back into Grindavik this morning. Last time I was there it was bustling and was perfect. Today was the complete opposite. I hope it’ll find its feet again and once again become a bustling town

The most beautiful country on earth. Every time I visit I feel so privileged to be able to visit this place so often

Iceland you have my heart

People often ask me which is the best month to visit #Iceland, & although I love visiting in winter, I generally advise them against winter, or at least warn of likely conditions... The road.is website is an absolutely superb resource, showing current conditions - always check it before setting out!

Holy shit USGS reported that a 7.0 earthquake has struck off the coast of California near Eureka! Hopefully there is minimal damage and everyone around there stays safe

This was very unexpected. I’m surprised KEiiNO made it in the top 5, I never expected them to be top! The Icelandic influence is strong! 🇮🇸

Also, for the first time ever, I have no native speaking English artists in my top 5 🤯

Listening time is down a lot too!

A couple years ago, I captured a pretty cool phenomenon that I didn't even know existed until I did some digging afterward. This here is an "above anvil cirrus plume." Explanation, with a comparison to a simulation below! 👇

Time for us to rejoin the EU. This god awful Brexit experiment has set the uk back 20-30 years. We can undo our mistakes and rejoin the EU

Just over 3 weeks until I’m back in Iceland! I can’t wait to step foot back in that beautiful country! So much has happened in the 10 months since I last visited!

See you very soon Iceland 🇮🇸

If you are visiting my island: don’t be like this: because these are total idiots standing right next to active lava during a volcanic eruption in Iceland
