Iceland… A country of huge volcanoes, powerful geysers, majestic glaciers and stunning waterfalls … "The Land of Ice" never ceases to amaze and fascinate romantics and adventure seekers. Those who have been here at least once say that Iceland is unlike any other place in the world.
The Scandinavian country, lost between the Atlantic and Arctic oceans, invariably attracts not only tourists, but also photographers who know that they will certainly find inspiration here. Every year they come here to take with them a piece of majestic beauty. Many of them call the landscapes of the "Ice Land" alien. No wonder that many scenes of the science fiction film Interstellar about travels on an interstellar ship were filmed here.
It is difficult to remain indifferent, seeing the stunning natural diversity and mesmerizing natural beauty. This is exactly what happened with the French photographer. Sarah Martinet, who was lucky not only to come to Iceland, but also to shoot the "land of ice" with bird's eye view … As a result, Martine fell in love with this place forever.
To a young Canadian artist Elizabeth Gadd even more fortunate. In her early twenties, she made an unforgettable journey through Iceland with friends. The result of the trip was a cycle of surprisingly harmonious photos about the relationship between man and nature.
