Behind the Camera - Icy Volcano
I was driving through a remote stretch of Iceland’s volcanic landscape when a volcano emerged on the horizon, rising quietly from the frozen lava fields like a sleeping giant. The air was raw and untouched—just the sound of the wind, the sting of drifting snow, and that deep Arctic blue that cloaks the Icelandic wilderness in silence and stillness.
The scene stopped me instantly. I pulled over, stepped out into the freezing cold, and wandered a few meters from the road. The contrast of snow-covered ground, rugged volcanic rock, and a dramatic northern sky created a composition I couldn’t ignore. The textures, the tones, and the vast emptiness came together in a way that felt timeless.
I hadn’t planned for this photograph—it revealed itself to me. That’s the beauty of travel photography in Iceland: the road often leads you to moments of raw, natural beauty that no map or itinerary could ever predict.
