Storm Clouds over Kárahnjúkar Dam and Hálslón Reservoir

Iceland, Austurland, Kárahnjúkar. A dramatic view of the massive Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Plant, where the Desjarástífla dam holds back the milky, sediment-rich waters of the Hálslón Reservoir. The pale, opaque glacial water contrasts sharply with the dark, brooding storm clouds gathering overhead, emphasizing the raw power and scale of this engineering feat set within the remote Icelandic highlands.
