A local photographer, Gunnar Freyr, woke up early Sunday morning when a tree in his yard fell down, having been crushed by the sheer weight of the accumulating snow. Rather than just wonder at the sudden snowfall and then go back to sleep, Gunnar took off to explore the winter wonderland which was emerging in downtown Reykjavík.
Gunnar put on his winter clothesand boots, grabbed his camera and walked around his neighbourhood for two hours. Gunnar took dozens of great photos of the snowfall between three and five on Sunday morning. The accumulation continued after he got back inside, as it only stopped snowing at nine in the morning. The total accumulation was 51 cm (20 in), a record for February in Reykjavík!
Gunnar published several photos on Instagram, where you can follow him as Iceland Explorer. Gunnar also has some amazing landscape photographs at his website Iceland Explorer.
