SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry - Plane Wreck

in steemitphotochallenge •  8 years ago  (edited)

Walked about 8km to see this abandoned plane in the middle of a black sand beach in Iceland. Was absolutely surreal.

The story behind it is in 1973 a United States Navy Douglas Super DC-3 airplane was forced to land here (Sólheimasandur) after experiencing some severe icing. Thankfully, all the crew members managed to survive, but his doesn't make the place any less chilling.

Awesome pic! What did you take it with?

D5000 with a kit lens :)

Great picture, I find this place to be a photographers paradise, for that matter all of Iceland. I have made some posts with pictures from Iceland.

I just checked out your pictures, they're amazing. Iceland is a stunning place.

Amazing shot! What an incredible find.

Thank You!

Wow. Nice shot. I have a feeling it could really take off!

Heh, that's a good one!
