Finalist Nexus International Photography Awards 2025 - Drone

A volcano erupts. Lava makes its way down the mountain, carving furrows into the ground, and cooling. Volcanic sediments settle in and along the furrows. Years pass, wind and weather work on the structures, seeds fly in, and streams develop. Lichens and mosses begin to cover the surface. Everything comes together, life emerges.

Iceland—the land of fire and ice—offers this scenario perfectly. Such structures can be found on the highlands, but they don't simply appear. Finding them is difficult and time-consuming. Getting to a place where they can be adequately photographed is often even more difficult and time-consuming.

All the preparatory work and the enormous effort to get to the subject are rewarded with fantastic and imaginative photographs. Here, it could be the creature that keeps the fire burning beneath the surface.
