Iceland > Djupavik, pop. 3 (14)

A tiny town on the edge of the world, I first visited it in 2002. It is miles from any other town, and as desolate and beautiful a place as there is on Earth where you can still use a telephone and sleep in a comfy bed. It's where I do most of my auorora borealis shooting, perfect for the night darkness and protected bay. The hotel, run by Eva and Asi with their dog Tina, is basically my family home. Djupavik is one of my most favorite places on the planet. I am not sure I have ever felt more comfortable anywhere else. The pictures in this gallery show mthe snall group of buildings in winter, as well as the storage vats of the old herring factory which gives the town its peculiar ambience. Along with a wrecked ship pulled up on shore, the factory gives Djupavik a set Hollywood would kill for.
