Seeing Red

The Icelandic landscape is unique. We don’t just have two seasons — light and dark —
but also colors found nowhere else. This is, after all, a volcanic land still in formation.

When Icelandic Times / Land & Saga recently traveled across Reykjanes, a variety of
shades appeared — mostly red — begging to be captured by the camera.

Here is a photo series from a landscape still being shaped. From a land waiting for the
next eruption. Whether it comes tomorrow, next week, or next year — who knows?
