River Delta 6. One of a series of aerial shots taken from a helicopter over the fabulous river deltas in South Iceland. Photographer Stephen King states, “This one depicts the end of the journey for one river as it winds its way to the ocean. The brilliant colors are a result of mineral deposits picked up by the glacial waters. We were lucky to shoot on a gorgeously sunny day which really brought out the colors”.
