Winter 2010, the stunning landscape of Iceland succumb to the arctic cold. Beaches and lakes get frozen, but something unexpected is going to happen. The earth shakes, warms up, and suddenly a big crack open up at the top of the glacier Eyjafjallajokull. Lava, smoke, ash and fire comes up from the depth of the earth, melting everything in its way. Shot with HDSLR Canon 7D, 5D MarkII, and Canon & Carl Zeiss lenses.

Iceland is much more than the volcano Eyjafjallajokull. Iceland is the place where the light is made. It has the most amazing light I have ever seen, endless sunsets in summer, crazy northern lights in winter and beautiful colors all the year.
