Fifty years on the sand, and still there.
Shot in South Coast of Iceland.

In November 1973, a US Navy Douglas Super DC-3 ran out of fuel and crash-landed on the frozen river plain at Sólheimasandur on Iceland's south coast. The crew survived. The aircraft was never removed. We woke well before sunrise and walked forty minutes along a flat gravel road to reach it before other visitors arrived, arriving just as the first light came over the horizon.

The wreck sits on a vast black sand plain between the Mýrdalsjökull glacier and the sea — no trees, no structures, nothing to give it scale except the sky. The fuselage has been stripped of most of its markings over the decades, but the shape is still unmistakably an aircraft, incongruous and permanent in equal measure. In the early morning light, the metal catches colour that the midday sun flattens out.

In your space, this print holds the particular weight of something that happened and was simply left.

Perfect For:

Iceland and adventure travel photography collectors
Spaces with a dark, dramatic, or industrial aesthetic
Living rooms or offices where a conversation-starting image suits the room
History enthusiasts and those drawn to abandoned or found objects
Interiors with a monochromatic or earth-toned palette
Anyone who has made the walk to Sólheimasandur and remembers it

Professionally printed on premium archival paper to preserve the early morning colour on the metal fuselage and the tonal depth of the black sand plain.

About

Richard Lam

Richard Lam is a Vancouver-based photographer and filmmaker whose work captures the quiet beauty of fleeting moments. With over a decade behind the camera, his photography is rooted in a deep sense of curiosity, presence, and human connection.

What began as a personal practice—documenting everyday moments to hold onto how they felt—quickly evolved into a creative calling. Richard eventually left a corporate career to pursue storytelling full-time, combining his marketing background with a thoughtful, visual approach to narrative.

His prints are the result of years spent traveling, observing, and refining his craft. Each image is a reflection of Richard’s belief that photography has the power to slow us down, help us see more clearly, and connect us to something greater than ourselves.
