Join professional photographer and licensed drone pilot Hörður Kristleifsson for a photography workshop focused on capturing the stunning beauty of Iceland from above. Limited to six participants, allowing Hörður to work closely with each person, teaching you how to master drone flight in unpredictable conditions, understand Icelandic weather patterns, and find the unique compositions that characterize his work. By staying flexible and following the light rather than sticking to a fixed tourist path, the group can seize the most rewarding photographic opportunities the island offers.
Travel takes place in a custom-modified 4x4 Mercedes Sprinter, designed to navigate the rough tracks and river crossings of the Icelandic Highlands. It also offers a comfortable mobile base with onboard charging stations. All workshops are fully licensed and organized by Glacier Adventure, ensuring a safe, professional, and well-planned experience in Iceland's remote areas.

Hörður Kristleifsson is a photographer specializing in aerial photography. Born and raised in Iceland, the Arctic is more than just a destination for him; it is his heritage and his home.
Over the years, he has flown more than 30,000 kilometers across multiple drones, flying through everything from active volcanic eruptions to the notorious Icelandic highland winds, encountering virtually every flight condition imaginable. For workshop participants, this means having a guide who knows exactly how to handle the elements, keeping gear safe while helping to capture the shot of a lifetime.
As an instructor, Hörður prides himself on a down-to-earth teaching style. His passion lies in making advanced drone techniques accessible to everyone, while also sharing Iceland's deep history and the stories behind the landscapes visited.
