Before going to Iceland there were 4 or 5 locations that I had found on the interwebs where I wanted to go; the remains of this plane crash was one of them. I managed to find the plane on Google Maps so that we had a rough idea where it was in relation to the road we were driving on, and on our first full day there we parked up and hiked out to it.
There is probably an easier way that the way we went, I’m not sure. It did involve us walking for quite some time over rough terrain, getting dive-bombed by birds who must have thought we were too close to their nest, and also we ended up walking through a river.
Eventually we arrived at our destination (unlike the plane).
As well as taking the usual shots of the plane from different angles I decided put together this scene – hope you like it s much as I do.
Great shot Mike, hope you had a good time over Iceland, look forward to seeing your shots

The moody interpretation really suits this image, Mike. I like what I have seen of your Iceland images so far and look forward to a whole lot more.

Great image – looks so much better on here than on Flickr. Looks like the hike was worth it, the plane looks pretty beat up too!
