Flowing to Hvítá

Description

Flowing to Hvítá

Hraunfossar is a series of waterfalls that appear to cascade straight out of dark, volcanic rock and into the light blue waters of the river Hvítá. The water flows across from the Hallmundarhraun, a lava field which was formed when lava flowed from an eruption of one of the volcanoes lying under the glacier Langjökull. The cascades form a huge bank of waterfalls along one side of the river. When Matt and I were originally planning our Iceland Photography Tour, we’d initially scheduled it for September… but after realising that it was still going to be “peak season” we looked to push it back to October, which meant that it was going to be Autumn. On my previous trip to Iceland, I’d noticed that trees were few and far between, so I didn’t really think it would make much of a difference… until Matt showed me photos of this particular waterfall in Autumn! Well, those images sealed the deal for me! I wanted to see these “lava falls” in all their Autumnal finery! We ended up visiting three times over the space of three weeks – each time was slightly different, and each time this trio of cascades were my favourite of all the many little waterfalls there!

Open Edition

Prints in the Open Edition are held to an exceptional standard of quality, creativity and craft that make them suitable for any home or workplace. Each Open Edition print is digitally signed and represents excellent value. Open Editions are printed on the same high-quality finishes as our Deluxe prints.

Fine Art Papers

Our prints are created using beautiful fine art cotton rag paper. The paper holds rich colours as well as subtle detail and is a perfect pairing for our photographic art. The museum grade paper meets ISO 9706 Paper Ageing Resistance to ensure an archival grade print, suitable for handing down through generations. We recommend liaising with your local framer about how to match your frame, matting and glass to best suit your print, your home, and your décor. All paper prints come rolled in a heavy-duty tube to protect them. The measurements supplied are of the outer dimensions of the paper. Each print contains a white border between 5-10cm, depending on size, for the purposes of presentation and framing.

Float-framed Canvas Prints

Our Canvas prints have beautiful texture and richness and come framed and ready-to-hang in your home or workplace. The canvas is of excellent quality with a fine texture and excellent archival ratings, and together with the pigment inks, have been lab tested to last over 100 years without fading when displayed suitably. Stretcher bars are from environmentally friendly regrowth forest in Australia and New Zealand. We strictly avoid timber from non-regrowth forests and timbers with high tannin and tannic acid in order to preserve the environment and the archival quality of the canvas. Float-frames come in several finishes. You can view these finishes on our Print Information page. Once you order the Float-framed canvas of your choice, we will be in contact directly to confirm your choice of frames.
