Waterproof

📍 Borgarfjarðarhöfn, Iceland

The drizzle had been coming in all morning, the kind that doesn't commit to being rain but accumulates anyway, and the wind off the water had that particular Icelandic quality of cold that finds the gaps. The puffins on the outcropping did not adjust. They settled into the grass the way they always settle, round and low, and stayed there.

Atlantic puffins spend most of their lives at sea, returning to land only to breed. They are engineered for water in a way that makes a drizzly cliff edge register as nothing at all. This one had found a hollow in the grass and simply become part of it, body disappeared into the green, that orange beak the only colour left in the whole grey morning.

I gave up before it did. My fingers went first.

About the Photographer

Christina Trester

Christina Trester discovered photography long before she understood its power. A quiet obsession that began at thirteen, it would eventually reshape the entire course of her life.

She has photographed all seven continents, into the mountains of Rwanda and the dust of the Lower Zambezi, through the early mornings of Ranthambore and the golden hours of the Serengeti. Her lens seeks not merely to document the natural world, but to reveal something of its interior life: the weight of a gaze, the geometry of a creature in motion, the silence that precedes something extraordinary. The moment the light does something in a forest that no description can quite hold.

Travel has always been inseparable from her work. The places that produced these images are not backdrops; they are the whole point, and sharing them with others is one of the great pleasures of this life. Christina leads small group expeditions and curates bespoke luxury travel experiences for those who want to see the world not as tourists passing through, but as people genuinely entering it.

She is based in Dallas, TX, and is perpetually in motion, following the light wherever it leads.
