We’re going to Iceland (South)...
Are you in?
Around the Waning Crescent Moon...
From November 1st to November 7th 2026, Clément Coudeyre and Laura Oppelt (PhotoPills Masters) will be traveling across the south coast of Iceland to photograph the Aurora Borealis, the Sun and the magical Autumn’s Golden Light along with some of the treasures hidden in this North Atlantic paradise...
Right when the Sun is in the period of solar maximum, which means we will be more likely to see and photograph the dancing green lights of the Aurora!
Of course...
We’ll be taking photos all day long...
In Autumn, the total Golden Hour time is almost 2 hours per day in Iceland!
But...
Can you imagine it?
To photograph the Aurora Borealis, the Sun and Autumn’s Golden Light with infinite waterfalls, shiny ice structures, deep canyons, large lava fields, black sand beaches, majestic glaciers, strange rock formations, sturdy horses, natural arches... and the always fascinating beach diamonds!
We’re dreaming about it!
To achieve it, we’ll use the planning power of PhotoPills and the expert knowledge of Clément Coudeyre and Laura Oppelt to always be at the right place at the right time.
Top secret: we have quite a few legendary photos planned already... Including a very special Sun alignment.

The Adventure
12 PhotoPillers | 2 PhotoPills Masters | Iceland (South) | Endless legendary photos
Warning! This is not a honeymoon...
We’re recruiting 12 brave PhotoPillers (PhotoPills and photography nerds) to join us on a 7-day expedition to photograph the Aurora Borealis and the magical Autumn’s Golden Light along with some of the most precious treasures hidden in the beautiful south coast of Iceland...
Winter is coming...
It can snow, it can be windy and it can be cold!
The average temperature is usually between 10ºC (50ºF) and -2ºC (28ºF).
Also...
The Sun is in the period of solar maximum, which means we will be more likely to see and photograph the dancing green lights of the Aurora!
And the golden hour lasts for almost 2 hours per day.
So...
This is a non-stop adventure to chase legendary photos and you are a key asset!
We have planned tons of photos, and we’ll travel many kilometers to capture them...
But we also want to maximize our flexibility in terms of itinerary and schedule in order to take advantage of all the opportunities that the changing weather will surely put in our way.
If we're fortunate enough to be out photographing the Aurora at night and it takes us into the late hours, we'll take a little extra sleep the next morning, skip Sunrise and kick start our day a bit later.
On the other hand, if the conditions make us skip the nighttime photography session, we'll rise and shine early to catch the Sunrise.
Whichever path we take, you can count on us to seize every photo opportunity and be right where the magic happens!
You are about to embark on a PhotoPills’ style journey. And it’s not going to be a honeymoon precisely... :P
You’ll be a true PhotoPiller!
Are you in?
Day 1. Sunday, November 1st - Welcome to Iceland
It’s Sunday morning...
And you land at Keflavík International Airport (KEF) located 50 km (30 mi) southwest of Reykjavík, where it all begins.
Located in southwestern Iceland, on the southern shore of Faxaflói bay, Reykjavík has a population of around 138,770, which is more than a third of Iceland’s total population (404,610).
There are lots of fascinating facts about the capital of Iceland.
Just to mention 2...
Reykjavík literally translates into “Smoky Bay”, a name inspired by the steam rising from the hot springs in the area.
Also, believe it or not, UNESCO designated Reykjavík as a City of Literature in 2011 because 1 out of every 10 Icelanders will write a book (at least once in their lifetime), becoming the people publishing more books per capita in the world.
Oh! And Reykjavík hides lots of photo opportunities.
3:00 pm
After a 50-minute ride on the Airport Fly Bus (taking a taxi is another good option), you get to our comfortable hotel in Reykjavík, Fosshotel Reykjavík, located right at the heart of the city, just 200 m from Laugavegur, one of the main commercial streets.
Check in and a bit of down time...
It’s always good to relax a bit before the true action begins.
3:30 pm
Expedition Briefing with Clément and Laura.
It’s time to get to know each other better, learn more about the adventure and learn how to photograph the Aurora!
4:30 pm
PhotoPills Class with Clément and Laura.
They will show you how to plan your photos with PhotoPills... sharing lots of tips on the way!
Let’s hope you learn how to use PhotoPills to plan your photos once and for all!
6:30 pm
We’ve booked a tasty restaurant we love for our first dinner together.
A place where you can have a taste of the local cuisine if you wish (lamb, fish, fermented shark...).
Do you dare?
8:30 pm
Nighttime begins at 7:56 pm.
What comes next will depend on the Aurora Borealis of course.
If the Aurora is dancing in Reykjavík, we’ll walk around to photograph it!
The plan is to go explore the beautiful city center and photograph a few iconic buildings and monuments. Buildings like the spectacular Lutheran church of Hallgrímskirkja (74.5 m or 244 ft), the Harpa Concert Hall, and the sculpture of the Sun Voyager (Sólfarið).
Otherwise, we’ll make the wise choice to go to bed and rest... Because the adventure that’s about to begin will require all our energy and the best of our creativity.
11:40 pm
Bed time!
Tomorrow we’re going east.
Photographic pills:
- Street photography in Reykjavík.
- Aurora borealis with Hallgrímskirkja, Sun Voyager and Harpa Concert Hall (if clear skies and aurora activity).
Day 2. Monday, November 2nd - The Land of Waterfalls
7:15 am
Wake up!
I hope you had a good sleep, because today we have a long day exploring the wonders of the South Coast...
9:00 am
After a delicious breakfast, we check out from the Fosshotel Reykjavík and we hit the road.
We’re heading east!
In this adventure we’ll be traveling in a comfortable coach equipped with everything we need to explore the wilderness of south Iceland.
11:00 am
After a 2-hour drive, we get to our first shooting spot, the beautiful waterfall of Seljalandsfoss (“Selling the Land of Waterfalls” in English).
Seljalandsfoss is located on the Seljalands river, which flows from the nearby Eyjafjallajökull glacier. The waterfall is 60 m (200 ft) tall and has a wide, curved cascade that falls over the edge of a cliff.
The unique feature of Seljalandsfoss is that we can walk behind the waterfall, allowing us to experience its power and beauty from a different perspective. The surrounding landscape is also beautiful, with green hills and a rocky riverbed that adds to the waterfall's natural beauty.
We’ll enjoy 1 hour here taking long exposures of the cold falling water.
12:30 pm
Lunch at a restaurant in Skógar.
1:15 pm
The waterfall is located along the Skógá River, which flows from the glaciers of the Mýrdalsjökull ice cap. It’s approximately 60 m (200 ft) tall and 25 m (82 ft) wide, and is renowned for its sheer size and power.
Skógafoss is also known for the rainbow that can often be seen in the mist of the falls, adding to its beauty and appeal.
If we have clear skies, we'll be there at the right time for the Sun to illuminate the great flow of water and a beautiful rainbow to form.
3:05 pm
We arrive at Vikurfjara
Also known as Vik i Myrdal beach, Vikurfjara is a world-famous black sand beach located on the South Coast of Iceland, near the village of Vík í Mýrdal.
It is renowned for its dramatic landscape, featuring towering basalt columns, powerful Atlantic waves, and the iconic Reynisdrangar sea stacks rising from the ocean.
The unique black sand is formed from eroded volcanic rock, giving the beach a striking and often brooding appearance.
We now have a mission: Capturing the Sun aligning with Reynisdrangar from Vikurfjara at Sunset.
The Sun has a relative size of 30 m (98 ft), and we will play along with the 70 m gap between main stacks.
So open PhotoPills, and check where the Sun is setting before you choose your shooting spot!
Golden hour begins at 3:37 pm, Moonset is at 4:10 pm, Sunset is at 5:00 pm, golden hour ends at 5:32 pm and blue hour ends at 5:52 pm.
5:35 pm
We arrive at Vik, a small town located in the southern region of Iceland, on the shore of the North Atlantic Ocean. It’s the southernmost town in the country, and is known for its rugged, windswept landscape and black sandy beaches.
It’s located on a rocky headland, and is surrounded by high cliffs, which offer stunning views of the ocean and the surrounding countryside. The town is home to a number of historic buildings, including the St. Nicholas Church, which we will photograph during blue hour.
We will position ourselves in the higher ground and photograph the church with its picturesque surroundings.
The warm city lights and the remaining cold tones from the blue hour make a nice scene to capture here, don't they?
6:20 pm
After a short drive, we check in at our comfortable hotel in the small town of Vik: Hotel Kría.
7:00 pm
Dinner at the Hotel Kría’s restaurant.
9:15 pm
The Moon (36.7%) will be below the horizon...
And Vik and its surroundings are one of the best locations in Iceland to photograph the auroras.
This time, we will go to Reynisfjara beach to have a different perspective than the one we previously had today at Sunset.
So if clouds cooperate and the Aurora is active, we'll be there, at the right shooting spot, photographing the dancing show.
And if there are no clouds and no Aurora, then we’ll photograph the cliffs and Vik Basalt Stacks (Reynisdrangar) under the thin part of the Milky Way.
But if the clouds don’t cooperate, we’ll go back to the hotel and rest.
11:30 pm
It’s been a long long day of photography. And many more will follow.
Sleep well!
Photographic pills:
- Morning photos at Seljalandsfoss waterfall.
- Midday photos of Skógafoss waterfall (chasing the rainbow if clear skies).
- Sun alignment at Sunset and golden hour at Vikurfjara beach.
- Blue hour at St. Nicholas Church.
- Aurora, Milky Way and Star Trails at Reynisfjara beach (if clear skies and aurora activity).
Day 3. Tuesday, November 3rd - The Sea Stacks
6:15 am
Wake up PhotoPillers!
Our journey east continues :)
7:00 am
We have an early breakfast and get ready for our next session.
8:00 am
Our Sunrise shooting spot is a place we already know pretty well: Reynisfjara.
Be very careful here, the waves are treacherous and can drag you into the ocean for never to be seen again!
Check PhotoPills and you’ll discover that, at 8:28 am, the Sun will be rising next to the basalt sea stacks.
So get your cameras ready for an epic Sunrise.
Plan & Pray!
Blue hour begins at 8:08 am, golden hour begins at 8:28 am, Sunrise is at 9:01 am and golden hour ends at 10:25 am.
10:15 am
We pack our stuff and we check out from Hotel Kría.
11:45 am
We arrive at the wonderful Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon.
Fjaðrárgljúfur is a stunning canyon located near the town of Kirkjubæjarklaustur. The canyon was formed over thousands of years by the Fjaðrá river, which flows through it, carving out a deep and narrow gorge in the surrounding landscape.
Its walls are up to 100 m (328 ft) high in some places, and are made up of stunningly sheer, vertical cliffs.
The canyon is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, including numerous species of birds, such as the Arctic tern, the ptarmigan, and the great northern diver.
The idea here is to walk along the canyon looking for great compositions. It’s an easy 1,4 km (0.87 miles) hike, with a 90 m (295.28 ft) descent easy on a path. Anyway, if you don’t feel like hiking today, there is a frontal view of the canyon you can capture from a nearby bridge.
The one with the best compo wins a prize ;)
1:00 pm
Lunch at a local restaurant.
3:30 pm
After 1h 45 of driving, we arrive at Jökulsárlón.
Jökulsárlón is a glacial lagoon situated at the base of the Vatnajökull glacier, the largest glacier in Europe. The lagoon was formed over many years as the glacier slowly melted, creating a large body of water filled with floating icebergs.
The area is also home to a large number of seals, which can often be seen swimming in the lagoon or resting on the icebergs. It’s a great place to experience the stunning beauty of Iceland's natural landscape and wildlife.
The idea is to photograph the Sunset here.
Golden hour begins at 3:13 pm, Sunset is at 4:41 pm, golden hour ends at 5:15 pm and blue hour ends at 5:35 pm.
6:10 pm
We’re only 25 minutes away from our lodging, the Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon, where we check in.
7:00 pm
Dinner at the Hotel’s restaurant.
8:55 pm
We’re back to Jökulsárlón waiting for the Northern Lights to show up.
The Moon is bellow the horizon. Thus, if there is a clearing in the clouds, we’ll go to the best possible location to photograph the Aurora (if it’s active) or the stars.
Otherwise, we’ll go to bed and save our energy for Sunrise.
11:55 am
Time to go to bed...
Photographic pills:
- Sunrise, golden hour and blue hour at beach of Reynisfjara
- Midday photos at Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon.
- Sunset, golden hour and blue hour at Jökulsárlón.
- Aurora and stars at Jökulsárlón (if clear skies and aurora activity).
Day 4. Wednesday, November 4th - Diamonds on the Beach
6:15 am
Wake up!
Our day's first destination will surely surprise you...
7:00 am
As we’ve done on previous days, we have an early breakfast and we hit the road... Diamonds await us on a black-sand beach.
8:00 am
Diamond Beach is a stretch of black sand beach by Jökulsárlón. It gets its name from the many small pieces of ice that wash up on the shore, which sparkle in the Sunlight and resemble diamonds. These pieces of ice are broken off from the nearby Vatnajökull glacier and are carried out to the sea by the ocean currents.
The beach is a fantastic spot for photography, as the contrast between the black sand and the sparkling ice creates a unique and striking visual effect.
“The ice diamonds on the beach sparkle like jewels,
Reflecting the light with a dazzling sheen.
Their frozen beauty belies their strength,
A reminder of the power of nature's reign.
These glistening gems of ice,
Washed ashore by the ocean's might,
Lie scattered upon the black sand,
A sight to behold, both rare and grand.
As the Sun beats down, they melt away,
Their fleeting presence a reminder to stay,
In awe of the world and its stunning design,
The ice diamonds on the beach, a treasure divine.”
Look! The sky is catching color. The Sun is about to rise. Let the show begin!
Blue hour begins at 8:02 am, golden hour begins at 8:22 am, Sunrise is at 8:56 am and golden hour ends at 10:26 am.
11:50 pm
We spend about an hour on the road until we get to Höfn, where we have a quick lunch.
Höfn is a cute fishing town situated on the edge of the Vatnajökull glacier, the largest glacier in Europe.
The town is known for its picturesque harbor, which is surrounded by mountains and offers beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.
It’s also known for its seafood, particularly its lobster, which is considered to be some of the best in the world.
1:00 pm
We need a 45 minute drive to reach Eystrahorn.
Located in the Vatnajökull National Park, Eystrahorn is a majestic mountain (756 m or 2,480 ft) known for its scenic beauty.
The mountain has a steep and rugged peak that rises above the surrounding landscape, making it a striking subject for photography.
It’s also home to a variety of flora and fauna, including snow-capped glaciers, alpine meadows, and dense forests, which provide a rich and diverse range of photographic opportunities.
We'll spend 1 hour and 15 minutes here taking photos non-stop!
Tip: Get your drone out the box! A bird’s eye view of this place is a photo you will cherish for life.
3:00 pm
After a quick pitstop we get to our next destination.Stokksnes is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including black sand beaches, dunes, and wetlands, which provide a rich and diverse range of photographic opportunities.
But the main attraction here is without a doubt the magnificent Vestrahorn mountain (454m or 1,490 ft).
The mountain rises steeply from the peninsula's shoreline and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
Use PhotoPills to understand where the Sun is setting... It’s our best friend to pick the shooting spot based on the composition we want.
Look at PhotoPills, the Sun will set (4:32 pm) behind our backs, casting light on the majestic mountain in front of us. This is going to be fun.
This place literally hides hundreds of photo opportunities. Let’s find and capture them.
Golden hour begins at 3:01 pm, Sunset is at 4:32 pm, golden hour ends at 5:06 pm and blue hour ends at 5:27 pm.
6:00 pm
Time to eat something and recharge in Höfn. After dinner, we will return to Stokksnes to photograph the dancing spectacle.
7:55 pm
Nighttime begins at 7:20 pm.
The Moon (21.3%) will be below the horizon all night long...
One good thing about being here during this period is that the Moon is usually below the horizon at night.
So it’ll be our friend by not rising, helping us capture the aurora, a bright Milky Way, and all the stars above us :)
Vestrahorn is one of the best locations in Iceland to photograph the auroras (and there are many!).
So if clouds cooperate and the Aurora is active, there we’ll be, at the right shooting spot, photographing the dancing show.
And if there are no clouds and no Aurora, then we’ll photograph the pointy rock formation under the stars.
Another cool option is to take a circumpolar image. Polaris will be positioned right above our main subject, making the stars appear to rotate around it.
12:15 am
It’s been a very special day. Today we got to capture two of Iceland's most iconic locations. I’m sure you’ll sleep very well tonight.
Photographic pills:
- Sunrise, golden hour and blue hour at Diamond Beach.
- Afternoon photos with Eystrahorn.
- Sunset, golden hour and blue hour at Stokksnes (Vestrahorn mountain).
- Aurora borealis and stars at Stokksnes (if clear skies and aurora activity).
Day 5. Thursday, November 5th - The Secret
I’ve been giving you lots of details of this amazing expedition to Iceland.
Maybe far too many...
But on November 5th we’ll do something very special...
What will that be?
Well, you'll have to be there, with us, to figure it out :P
Day 6. Friday, November 6th - Black Sand Galore
7:00 am
Wake up!
It’s time for breakfast...
...or if you prefer, you can skip it and sleep a little bit longer.
8:25 am
We’re back to Diamond Beach for our second Sunrise attempt of this Expedition. Truth is one can never get tired of photographing it!
Blue hour begins at 8:08 am, golden hour begins at 8:28 am, Sunrise is at 9:03 am and golden hour ends at 10:36 am.
10:40 am
We're back at the Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon for a quick checkout.
We have a 2h 40 drive to get to our next destination, Dyrholaey, but we'll stop for lunch on our way.
2:50 pm
We arrive at Dyrhólaey.
The peninsula is home to a number of interesting geological features, such as towering cliffs, rocky sea stacks, and natural arches. The most famous one is a large arch, known as Dyrhólaeyjarbakki, which stands at the southernmost tip of the peninsula.
Dyrhólaey is also home to a large number of seabirds, including puffins, which nest in the cliffs and can be seen in large numbers during the summer months (not in autumn or winter unfortunately).
We’ll photograph the sea stacks, the natural arch and the black beach until Sunset.
Golden hour begins at 3:19 pm, Sunset is at 4:47 pm, golden hour ends at 5:21 pm and blue hour ends at 5:41 pm.
5:50 pm
Check in at our comfortable hotel in the small town of Vik: Hotel Kría, the place we stayed on the second night of our trip.
Time flies!
6:10 pm
Now it’s time for a roundtable session.
The idea is each PhotoPills Master spends some time sitting down with 6 different PhotoPillers for 15 minutes each.
During that time, you can ask about anything related to photography, whether you need advice, feedback on your photos, help planning shots with PhotoPills, or even a bit of guidance on editing your images. It's totally up to you!
7:55 pm
Time for a well deserved dinner at the hotel restaurant.
9:55 pm
We’ll keep an eye on the sky, and if weather allows, we will chase the Aurora Borealis one more time.
I know you'll never get tired of seeing the magnificent Northern Lights, will you?
So here we are again, at the planned shooting spot (we’ll choose it according to the weather forecast), patiently waiting for the dancing beams to perform their show.
Let’s hope that the sky is not cloudy tonight.
Plan & Pray!
12:10 am
Our Iceland adventure will end soon... But not quite yet!
One more Sunrise awaits!
Photographic pills:
- Morning photos at Diamond Beach.
- Sunset, golden hour and blue hour at Dyrhólaeyk.
- Aurora borealis and stars at the black beach of Vík (if clear skies and aurora activity).
Day 7. Saturday, November 7th - The Farewell
7:00 am
Do you have energy for one last Sunrise in Iceland?
Yes, of course. You’re PhotoPillers after all... We never miss a good shot! :P
7:45 am
After a delicious breakfast, we check out from the Hotel Kría and we hit the road.
8:15 am
The Sun rises on the Black Sand Beach. Despite the fact that we've been photographing this magical place a few times this week, it always looks different. We will focus on different subjects every time.
There’s so much to shoot here!
And as always, we’ll be there at the planned shooting spot, patiently awaiting for the action to begin.
Blue hour begins at 8:19 am, golden hour begins at 8:39 am, Sunrise is at 9:14 am and golden hour ends at 10:44 am.
11:10 am
Our next destination is Kvernufoss, a stunningly secluded waterfall nestled in the south of Iceland, near the more famous Skógafoss.
Our journey will include an easy hike, covering a total distance of 510 m (1673 ft), with an ascent of 20 m (66 ft).
This hidden gem cascades gracefully from a height of about 30 m (98 ft) into a serene pool below.
The waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery and dramatic cliffs, offering a picturesque backdrop that is less frequented by tourists.
And we can even walk behind the waterfall's veil!
1:10 pm
Lunch at a restaurant in Skógar.
2:10 pm
And if the weather cooperates, there is always time for one last waterfall, right?
Get your camera out of the bag for the last time and try a different composition at Skógafoss!
Since we have already visited this amazing location, you know you won't be short of framing options here. ;)
3:10 pm
It’s time to start our journey back to Reykjavik. It’s a 2h 30 drive, so relax and enjoy the ride.
5:30 pm
We’ll drop you off at the hotel of your choice or at the Flybus station if you’re going to the airport.
Until next time, farewell!

This is a glimpse to what happened in the PhotoPills Expedition to Iceland. We had so many adventures and so much fun... We can’t wait for Iceland November 2026!
But you don’t have to take our word for granted. Here’s what some PhotoPillers say about the PhotoPills adventures:
“I went to Iceland expecting to have the opportunity to photograph the marvelous landscape and master nightscapes. What I encountered was so much more – 14 kindred souls from across the globe who share a passion for photography. Together we expanded our creative boundaries, learned from one another and had an insane amount of fun in the process. I am confident that everyone came away from the experience a better photographer.”
“From the very moment the guys from PhotoPills announced the expedition to Iceland... I didn’t think it twice! I was using PhotoPills but not at its full capacity, so I had no better chance to learn from the creators of this amazing app. The experience was even more amazing than anything I could have imagined. In Iceland, I discovered a bunch of folks as crazy about photography as I am. I had a blast!
Photography is a continuous learning process, you always find something new that motivates you to improve. And this adventure made me improve more than I could imagine.”
"The PhotoPills guys know how to create a fantastic experience. They bring an infectiously fun energy and are always willing to drop some handy photography knowledge on you that you will take with you. You take their trip and you'll for sure have a good time, get some amazing pics and leave a better photographer."
“During my experience in Iceland I lived wonderful moments and had surprises that were beyond the expected. It completely exceeded my initial expectations! Sharing knowledge, experiences and ways of working and living photography with such a great group has been one of the most enriching life experiences I have ever had.
Who he said that learning and knowledge sharing can not be wonderfully fun?”
“I can't say enough about what a fantastic time I had during the PhotoPills Iceland photo tour! The guys from PhotoPills and Donal Boyd were so knowledgeable, accommodating, and especially lots of fun. Never a dull moment – nonstop action and shooting of amazing landscapes for 10 days. I came away with enough images and memories to last a lifetime!”
FAQs
What’s the temperature in Iceland in early November?
The weather on the South Coast of Iceland in early November can be quite unpredictable and is characterized by rapidly changing conditions.
In October, the average temperatures typically range from about 2ºC to 10ºC (36ºF to 50ºF).
During the month, the region experiences increased rainfall and possibly snow as winter approaches.
It’s key to wear in layers :)
