Another year in the books 🎉 If anyone’s wondering what to get me, this Greenland puppy will definitely do. I’ve been especially busy the last six months so been less active here than I’d like. Planning on putting a bit more energy into the platform and sharing more moments from the North (and soon way down South…). Thanks to everyone for sticking around! Have a great weekend ✌🏼 . . . . . #thrainnko #visitgreenland #greenland #sleddog #puppy #mftn #momentfromthenorth #momentsfromthenorth

My two extremes. When I came home from Greenland, I sat down with my son to change films in my film camera. Like the good teacher I am, I accidentally put the already shot-on-film back into the camera and put the new one aside for development. Straight away, we started "breaking in" the new film. The next day and many photos in, I get a call from the photo lab saying that the film had been empty. I immediately realised I had probably made a "bad switch". Lo and behold, developed the film and saw I had shot over almost all of the Greenland photos. At first I was pretty bummed. I thought the photos were ruined, both the Greenland ones but also some beautiful photos of my kids. After looking through the photos again and again, I've actually started liking them more and more. In a funny way they perfectly encapsulate the two extreme ends of my life. Jumping off icebergs into the ocean in Greenland one day and changing diapers and goofing around at home with my family the next. Anyway, cheers if you read all the way through. . . . . . #visitgreenland #greenland #arctic #thrainnko #thrainnkolbeinsson #nikonl35af #35mm @pixlarframkollun

The South Coast of Iceland serving some mythical vibes. No wonder so many epic movies have been shot over there. Here’s just two of countless unique locations you’ll encouner whilr driving along the South Coast 🤌🏼 Follow @thrainnko for more moments from the North.

Greenland still feels like a dream. It’s been two years since I was in Greenland and every single memory still feels unreal. On this particular day we were sailing around the remote Aasiaat Archipelago in western Greenland. Can’t wait to go back. Is Greenland on your bucket list? 🇬🇱 Follow @thrainnko for more moments from the North.

What a place. I still remember seeing this place in a photobook about the Reykjanes about six years ago, I couldn’t believe such a place was so close to the capital. And when I made my first visit I was glad to realise that it actually is one of those places that’s just as epic in person as in photos. Make sure to take a day or two to explore the Reykjanes peninsula when visiting Iceland. You’ll be missing out if you don’t. Follow @thrainnko for more scenes from the North.

What do you see? Far out in the middle of what feels like a endless black desert stands this big lonely rock, just sticking out of the ground. To me it looks like a pretty flat face with huge eyebrows (see 4th slide) but it’s formation and shape looks different from every angle so I’m curious… …what do you see? 👇🏼 Follow @thrainnko for more moments from the North.

To get the most out of your time in Iceland during winter, there are a few things aside from the basics that you might forget ❄️Here’s a few: - Crampons: Even just some small ones that you can easily put on and take off when needed. - Headlight: The shortest day of the year in Iceland has just over 4 hours of daylight. - Swimsuit and flip flops: Iceland is far from being a tropical island but you have so many options of hot pools (public and natural) that you’re not gonna want to miss. - Walking pole: Depends on what you want to do but for any winter hikes it’s always a good idea to bring at least one. - Layers: The best way to dress for winter is to wear a few layers (top and bottom) that you can then remove or add as you please (good base layers are life). - Sunglasses: The sun is always super low, doing its best to blind you, so bring your favourite sunglasses. Now put on your headlight, get in your swimsuit, put your crampons on your flip flops and get over here 🇮🇸 Follow @thrainnko for more tips from the North. #iceland #traveltips #hiddenwaterfall #winter

A few volcano favourites from the previous three eruptions 🌋 We have been blessed with so many different conditions resulting in a really diverse set of images. My two absolute favourite types of conditions have been snowy and nighttime, here’s a few of those 👆🏼 Tomorrow are the last chance to grab some prints at the current discounts before the holidays 🎁 There are two collections, The North and New Earth (the images in this post), including a selection of some of my favourite images shot throughout the years. I’ve received a few questions about the prints which I’ll address here below. - They ship worldwide (in a stiff tube for maximum protection) - They are printed locally on a thick (315 gsm) fine art paper with a beautiful matte finish - All limited editions, signed and numbered by myself - Full refund if anything is not up to the highest standard (never happened) - Usually ships within 3-5 days of ordering Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions! 🙏🏼 Follow @thrainnko for more moments from the North. #iceland #fineartprints #fineart #wallart #homedecor #landscapephotography
