Author: Wettke, J

Condition: New

In Halldór Laxness novel Under the Glacier, the protagonist travels from Reykjavík to the mythical volcano at the Snfellsjkull glacier, a place in whose shadow words cease to have even the slightest meaning. This could be a leitmotif for Jrgen Wettkes Iceland images. Whereas language can hardly convey the majesty and beauty of a landscape, the photographs in Iceland: Nature of the North speak volumes in their eloquence. Wettkes photographic journey across the volcanic island is guided by natures elemental forces: he shows us the diverse forms of fire, water, air, light, and earth. Whether the structures of lava flows, sculptural ice formations, or natures artworks, aurora borealis, lighting up the sky - Jrgen Wettkes photography brings us closer to these wonders of nature. We discover Iceland in an entirely new and breathtaking way! Text in English, German and Icelandic.
