Gear
- Canon Mark IV: (Skogafoss waterfall did kill my camera, and I spent the second half of the trip putting tape over my lens' sensors so that my camera would allow me to manually focus. I HIGHLY recommend bringing two cameras on your trip. And even if your camera is in a bag, do not stand under the mist of Skogafoss with it. (I learned the hard way, even with a plastic bag over my entire camera. A $400 lesson.)
