Can’t believe that it is has been four years since I first set foot in that bizarre otherworldly island paradise.
To stand where the Earth is wrenching itself apart, to walk along cracks in million year old lava flows, to feel just a smidge of the planet’s inner thermal turmoil is to be humbled.
Seeing this photos again reminded me how badly I need to go back to Reykjavik and those wonderful lava fields, the juxtaposition of life and death.
-
- As though the town was pulled from a toy railroad set
-
- Seems like everyone in Iceland is connected to the sea
-
- Downtown Reykjavik centres on a public pond
-
- The city is dotted with beautiful gardens
-
- An artificial geyser set up in town
-
- The island country is slowly torn in two
-
- The icy waters slowly erode the mossy stone
-
- An old volcano slowly fills with water
-
- AS the planet comes apart, its cracks are filled by nearby lakes
-
- Life clings to every surface in Iceland
-
- The sweat of distant glaciers slowly finds the sea
-
- Tour buses flock to the gap between tectonic plates
-
- Scuba divers flippered their way through these channels
-
- Geothermal energy is the name of the game here
-
- A chance to walk right through a rainbow
-
- Wasn’t too keen on looking for the pot of gold
-
- The 4-terraced waterfall was so beautiful and powerful
-
- The salts are so thick, the water takes an unearthly hue
-
- Tourists and locals bask in the Earth’s embrace
