Iceland winter landscapes but not the Northern Lights

Just back from a week in Iceland with Daniel Bergmann and 6 others.  Unfortunately the gods were against us  - despite a couple of clear sunny days, each night we had overcast conditions which hid the Northern Lights.  By way of compensation we spent a wet afternoon under cover (more or less) photographing an ice-cave in a glacier.  By day however, we lost only one day due to adverse weather and spent it travelling to Myvatn in the north of Iceland in the hope of getting clearer skies at night.  Sadly the Northern Lights continued to elude us.  Nevertheless we had lots of daytime photo opportunities in conditions ranging from bright sunshine to snow and probably everything in between!

Currently working on the pictures and will post in due course on the following link (which has images from my two earlier trips to Iceland):

By way of a taster here is an image of a small frozen lake behind the moraine at Fjallsarlon complete with a "JCB":
