The Spanish artist, based in Reykjav\u00edk, seeks unique relationships between light, form, and atmosphere. In Iceland, the vicissitudes of the weather and the stark, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/tags\/dani-guindo\">glacial landscape<\/a> continually stoke his interests.<\/p>\n<p>Guindo typically uses drones to capture a wide range of angles, from panoramas of glaciers and mountains to vertical shots of silty streams that appear almost abstract. His latest series, <em>Terminus<\/em>, captures a glacier\u2019s many rivulets amid a rocky landscape, along with a ghostly, rounded outline revealing evidence of the glacier\u2019s earlier phases.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/guindo-5.jpeg\" class=\"swipebox\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-471044\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thisiscolossal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/guindo-5.jpeg\" alt=\"An aerial landscape of glacial streams in Iceland\" class=\"wp-image-471049\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>The glacier is <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/earth\/earth-observatory\/mulajokull-glacier-and-its-palette-of-lakes-154613\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">M\u00falaj\u00f6kull<\/a>, which falls into a category scientists call a \u201csurge-type,\u201d in which periods of ice flow are interspersed with periods of inactivity or retreat.

very isolated glacier outlet, surrounded by a chaotic maze of rivers and marshlands, making an approach on foot almost impossible,\u201d Guindo says in a statement.\u00a0\u201cWith the right wind
