Icelandic photographer Jan Erik Weider’s portraits of molten rock flows from the Fagradalsfjall volcano who spent three days earlier this year getting as up close and personal as humanly possible. To wit:
I was absolutely blown away by how quickly the lava field changed. Apparently, cooled lava broke open, and thick, fresh lava flowed out and formed new shapes and “sculptures,” which were then destroyed again by new lava a few minutes later. This simultaneously beautiful but also brutal transience was the charm for me. A surreal landscape that in just a few minutes will no longer be visible to anyone.
