Basalt
Iceland
Basalt
I have always been fascinated by geology and especially with regard to Iceland. From a scientific point of view, Iceland is a very young landmass. Not more than 20 million years ago, the island rose out of the sea due to volcanic activity on the ocean floor of the Atlantic Ocean. But even today the landscape is changing due to the constant volcanic activity. There are many places on the island with very bizarre looking geological formations and I was especially interested in basalt, with its strict and geometric structure and volcanic origin. With the monochrome character of the series I wanted to focus clearly on the rocks and also give the photos a slightly mysterious character.
