Shots here were taken in freshwater sites from Silfra, David's Crack & active volcanic lake called Kleifarvatn, and also one marine site named Gardur. We made 16 dives over 10 days. The freshwater is said to be the clearest water on earth, visibility at Silfra must have been close to 100 meters. This is due to glacial runoff which gets filtered through porous volvanic rock, and then collects in fissures caused by seismic activity. Water temperatures in freshwater sites were 2-4 degrees celsius, and with marine sites at 6 degrees. Average dive times for us were 90 minutes. Walks back to our support vehicle in the incessant wind left us with ice freezing on our drysuits. When planning for this trip, and checking local weather conditions, seismic activity is listed, and the amount of earthquakes in the last 24 hours is shown, interesting to say the least.

Thanks to our guides Gisli Arnar Gudmundsson, and Einar Hansen for all their efforts to make our trip a productive one. They worked very hard modelling in our underwater pics.

The landscape in the areas we visited is dominated by old lava floes, and volcanic calderas. The country was an amazing place to explore, and we only scratched the surface.
