30 sec f/11.0, ISO 200, tripod.

Era il 24 novembre 1973 quando un aereo C-117 dell'aeronautica militare statunitense stava sorvolando il ghiacciaio Vatnajökull di ritorno alla base di Keflavik: un volo tranquillo con 5 uomini a bordo in una missione di ordinaria amministrazione e controllo; se non che, senza preavviso, i motori del velivolo cominciarono a perdere potenza. Gregory Fletcher, il pilota allora di 26 anni optò per atterrare sulla spiaggia nera di Solheimasandur lungo la costa meridionale dell'Islanda non lontano dal villaggio di Vik. La manovra riuscì perfettamente!| Pilota ed equipaggio, composto da altri quattro uomini, escono illesi dall'atterraggio di fortuna. Allertati i soccorsi, questi arrivarono dopo un'ora. Le persone furono tratte in salvo e l'aereo - smontati i pezzi più importanti, come il motore e la meccanica principale - venne lasciato al proprio destino.

... So did the Americans leave their garbage on the beach and the Icelanders didn't even fine them?

@Sairon, eh, we're not in Italy where you're fined just because you're eating a sandwich in the :-D

this airplane carcass is to Iceland what the Colosseum is to Rome :-D
Super inflated photo subject but I must admit that you interpreted it in a masterful way, congratulations.

The photo is really attractive and the choice of black and white is a winner. To me it evokes sensations ... ghostly, then mitigated by the happy ending told by the author
