▴ Breitachklamm

Located near the town of Oberstdorf, the Breitachklamm is one of the deepest accessible gorges in Central Europe. This massive boulder, wedged between the narrow rock walls, marks one of its most striking features along the scenic trail. Even though it’s not a particularly challenging hike, the dramatic scenery makes it a surprisingly stunning one.

▴ Víkurfjara Black Sand Beach

One of Iceland’s most famous black sand beaches, Víkurfjara is known for its dramatic basalt cliffs, powerful waves, and the striking sea stacks of Reynisdrangar just offshore. The moody, stormy weather on this day actually complemented the rugged scenery perfectly, adding to the atmosphere of this already dramatic landscape.

▴ H3 NATO Radar Site

Scouting the Stokksnes Peninsula for a prime sunrise spot to capture Vestrahorn didn’t go entirely as planned, as thick fog rolled in and obscured most of the view. However, the heavy mist created an eerie, almost otherworldly atmosphere, making the old radar station appear even more enigmatic against the black sand dunes.

▴ Abisko National Park

Abisko National Park, located in the far north of Sweden above the Arctic Circle, serves as the starting point of the famous Kungsleden hiking trail in the warmer months. In winter, it transforms into a prime destination for aurora hunting due to the long nights. But even during the daylight-starved season, shorter hikes through the snow-covered landscape can be just as magical — especially during the prolonged twilight hours.

The viewpoint overlooking Glacier Grey in Torres del Paine National Park offers a striking contrast between rugged Patagonian vegetation, wind-swept waters, and the glacier’s vibrant blue ice. The relentless Patagonian winds made it a great challenge to even stand still for this shot, adding to the adventure of reaching this iconic viewpoint.

▴ Schwarzberg Glacier

As an alternative to Zermatt, the Saastal in Switzerland also offers scenic trails, including routes leading to the Schwarzberg Glacier. However, like all alpine glaciers, it has been retreating significantly due to rising temperatures, exposing more rock and gradually reshaping the surrounding landscape.

▴ Vestrahorn

Vestrahorn, located along Iceland’s southern Ring Road near Stokksnes, is one of the country’s most dramatic mountain formations, known for its jagged peaks and black sand beaches. Weather conditions here can shift rapidly, often shrouding the mountains in thick fog. While clear views are never guaranteed, moments like this—where the peaks briefly emerge from swirling mist—can create an equally atmospheric and moody scene.

▴ Paine Grande

Patagonia is notorious for its relentless winds, but during the final days of our time there, as we made our way toward Glacier Grey, the wind speeds were exceptionally strong—reaching up to 100 km/h, a rare occurrence even for this rugged region. This extreme weather further enhanced the dramatic and untamed atmosphere of the landscape, as captured here during the ferry ride from Refugio Paine Grande back to the Pudeto pier, marking the conclusion of our journey through Torres del Paine National Park.
