Jon Gustafsson was thrust into the world of aerial photography when he started working with Icelandic helicopter companies. Limited edition prints are available for purchase through Artio Productions. Only 5 large copies are produced. Each is numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The book ICELAND IS A WORK OF ART now available
ICELAND IS A WORK OF ART is the name of a new aerial landscape photography book by Icelandic filmmaker and photographer Jon Gustafsson Icelandic filmmaker and photographer. The book contains 80 pages of amazing Iceland aerial photographs, taken from helicopters over a period of 7 years by Jon Gustafsson. The book is available in bookstores in down-town Reykjavik and internationally through Nammi.is which will ship it to you where ever you are. Icelandic filmmaker Jon Gustafsson was thrust into the world of aerial photography by pure chance. He was traveling in a helicopter when the volcano Eyjafjallajökull erupted in 2010. On that flight he captured the first images of the infamous eruption that affected the world. His images were published worldwide and his passion for aerial photography was born.
In this book Jon Gustafsson shows us Icelandic landscape from angles that few have experienced. He finds abstract art in rivers, mountains and glaciers. His work is seductive, playful and intriguing. Iceland is surreal, it is dynamic and ultimately, as Jon shows us: It is a living work of art.

The Sun Rises at 11:00 am in Reykjavik
It is early January, 2017. The sun rises at 11:00 am – if it rises at all. There are days when you wonder if it is there at all.
Akureyri Whale Watching
I just edited this little video for a Whale Watching company in Akureyri in the north of Iceland. The company is called Ambassador.
Personally I enjoy being on a boat on a nice day more than I enjoy seeing whales but that’s just me. For many tourists it seems to be a big thrill to come close to these gentle giants. For me, having grown up in Iceland, they were just always around. I grew up with a view of the ocean. Wildlife was always there. I would sometimes see seals swimming directly in front of my house. After going whale watching in both Reykjavik and Akureyri I would say that driving to Akureyri for Whale Watching is worth it.

Paris is good as always. The apartment seems bigger every time I stay there. It’s good to get away from the disaster zone back in Iceland.
The krona is dead. Long live the krona.
I’m afraid that the sate of our currency (the Icelandic krona = IKR) can best be expressed/explained with this video:

The Big Party Weekend
The big August long weekend is here. Thousands of people are camping out at these big drunken orgy festivals, but not me. I went for a hike around Ölkelduháls and Reykjadalur (Steam Valley). If you ever get to Iceland you should try to find this place. At the top of the valley you find the source of Reykjadals-river, actually two sources, one hot and one not so hot. Where those two meet is a very popular bathing spot.
