Located at the far north-west of Europe and practically uninhabited (with a population of scarcely 330,000), Iceland welcomes its visitors to a country that is rich in volcanic and geological activity and full of plains, semi-deserts, mountains and glaciers that join forces to create some of the most unique landscapes in the continent. |

Its extension of 102.000 square kilometres makes it Europe’s second largest island after Great Britain, and the world’s 18th largest. The vast majority of its terrain consists of tundra, and glaciers and lakes cover 14% of its surface.
The island was formed by basalt and petrified lava, and bears witness to roughly one volcanic eruption every five years. Through its almost 5.000 kilometres of coast, there are numerous fjords, which the vast majority of cities and towns are built upon.
This feature covers a 21-days photographic journey across the area.
