Captured at the end of November in the heart of Þórsmörk, this aerial photograph reveals a frost-covered birch laying down seems to be rising from the valley floor like a luminous crown. The delicate white branches, coated in early winter ice, create a stunning contrast against the dark forest below. From above, the tree becomes almost abstract, a natural fractal, delicate yet powerful, shaped by Iceland’s cold breath.
This piece highlights the quiet beauty of Icelandic birch forests during the first freeze, when the landscape transforms into monochrome patterns and silent textures. The image feels both organic and sculptural, as if winter itself were drawing with light.
