Some of the awe-inspiring photos from photographer Ragnar Th. Sigurdsson’s new book Magma: Icelandic Volcanoes.

About the book:

After years of recording Iceland’s volcanoes up close, Sigurdsson undertook his latest project, to collect and preserve as many photographs of Icelandic volcanoes as he could find. Along with geophysicist Ari Trausti Gudmundsson, his friend for 25 years, Sigurdsson pored over archives, scanning and preserving hundreds of photos of eruptions on the small Nordic island. They are collected in the recently published book Magma: Icelandic Volcanoes. 

You can see more images in the Time gallery Iceland: Living With Volcanoes gallery or you can see them all by buying the book.

Axel Sigurðarson shot these beautiful photos from above his native Iceland. You can see more of them here.

These spectacular photos of icebergs are by David Burdeny.

Burdeny on his project:

During 2007 and into the spring of 2008, I made several long journeys to the upper and lower extremes of our planet to photograph the shorelines, monolithic ice forms and landscapes of Greenland, Icelandic and Antarctica. Most of these places are arduous to reach, beyond the borders of domestic transportation routes, accessible only by small aircraft or boat. All are endangered to some extent – threatened by tourism, climate change, industry and the hunt for oil.

This new series, Icebergs begins to explore what are currently the most geopolitical and geographically sensitive shorelines on earth.

Formally different than my previous work, but motivated by similar principals, these images attempt to encapsulate both the otherworldliness and the vital reality of the northern seas and oceans. I was drawn to the fragility and grace of the frozen landscape. For me, the work is both a celebration of nature’s survival and an elegy.

The Telegraph has put together a wonderful gallery of beautiful blue icebergs and glacier lakes in Iceland.
