Thank you for creating such an impressive book! New Earth captivated me from beginning to end. This photographic journey through the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption is not only visually stunning but also deeply personal and created with genuine passion. The image quality is outstanding, the layout beautifully done, and the documentation of the eruption from the first to the last day is truly unique. What stands out most is the photographer’s enthusiasm—it’s clear that this was a work of joy and dedication. A remarkable and inspiring book that powerfully captures the forces of nature. Highly recommendable for anyone fascinated by photography, volcanoes, or the raw beauty of our planet!

Jeroen has been my go-to resource for all things drone (and photography) since very early in my photography journey. Since the first editions of the Nature Drone Photography e-book (and the many updates since), his drone Masterclass in collaboration with Nigel Danson, and now to his most recent publication New Earth. The book a so beautiful and very well laid out - complete with descriptive detail, and sharing of the most beautiful images mastered with Jeroen's realistic style and experience for all to enjoy. This is not just any Icelandic photography coffee table book - it is a 'must-have' addition to any photography/drone enthusiast's collection!

New Earth is not just visually stunning but also an important book on the Geldingadalir eruption, volcano photography and the hard work, passion and knowledge it takes to shoot volcanoes and produce such incredible work. I could not put the book down each page filled me with awe and Jeroen’s humble and vastly knowledgeable approach to the stories kept me intrigued and wanting to learn more. It is an important, spectacular and beautiful book.

This book is a magnificent, comprehensive testimony of the spectacular Geldingadalir eruption in the Fagradalsfjall volcanic system, which Jeroen followed from the beginning and chronologically described in detail from his own observation and fascination at location, supporting it by unique and amazing photographs. This applies to both the quality and composition. Jeroen's professionalism and personal enthusiasm are evident on every page. I still regret that I was not able to witness this eruption myself. Anyway, Jeroen's addition of the camera settings for each photograph are a welcomed guideline, too. In any case, this book is a valuable documentation for anyone fascinated by volcanoes and also for aspiring volcano photographers.

Een zeer indrukwekkend en aan te raden fotoboek over de uitbarstingen van de IJslandse vulkaan, dramatisch gefotografeerd vanuit verschillend perspectief.

I think the title of Jeroen's book, New Earth, says it all. Witnessing birth of the "New Earth" through his eyes is fascinating. I admire Jeroen’s passion and craftsmanship. While the book is filled with great photos, what sets it apart is the depth of Jeroen's knowledge. He invites us on a personal journey, offering glimpses into both his world and our own. I purchased four copies—one for myself and the rest as gifts. I'm know they will be well received.

Fantastic book. I went to the volcano when it erupted and this book just brings back memories. Amazing photography and very clear explanations. A proper coffee table book

An absolute great read! I am a big photography fan and love nature photography the most but what I actually enjoyed most in this book was the stories behind each photos! I was really walking with Jeroen in the lava fields!

This book gives a wonderful view into the fascinating world of fire and ice that is Iceland! The images Jeroen has produced show the power and majesty of the Icelandic volcanoes in a way few photographers have been able capture. This is one photography book that deserves a place in your collection!

Jeroen’s drone work, especially in New Earth, is simply breathtaking. His drone photography captures nature’s raw power with an artistry that truly inspires me. He’s a constant source of motivation and a true master of his craft.

Actually this book deserves more than 5 stars! It evokes so many wonderful memories of our travels to volcanic destinations. Of course one was Iceland - spectacular, but with no eruption - Lanzarote with the Timanfaya, Tenerife with the Teide, and most spectacular Hawaii with Mauna Kea, Kilauea, Pu'u O'o and many more. Highlight was a helicopter flight over an active crater and being very close to a lava flow pouring into the sea. Our pictures are not close to the quality of yours. Therefore your book has a prominent place on our coffee table and it also helps to illustrate the tales of our adventures to our grandchildren. All I can say is: Thank you!

I got to know Jeroen while he was still living in Belgium ages ago. His work was one of the key factors why I decided to delve into photography. This book, which can be summarized as a beautiful passion project, contains some of his greatest pictures. It serves as a great introduction to Jeroen’s personal story and his journey so far, but that’s not the main selling point. The beauty of this work lies in the fact that it makes you want to go out and explore for yourself. To see what this new (and old) earth has to offer. Highly recommended.

WIsh I was there. But with that said, at my age I could not have gotten those stunning photos. My daughter the geologist now owns the book. We walked on this area nine days before the most recent earthquake and were mesmerized.

A beautifully written & photographed diary of the eruption. I literally felt like I was on the journey with Jeroen, waiting with anticipation as to what would happen next. A perfect balance of photography techniques and information, combined with words that bring the experience alive. I was fortunate enough to travel with Jeroen during an Iceland highlands workshop in 2022, where we visited the Meradalir eruption. In person his enthusiasm and interest in these eruptions is evident and I can’t wait to see what comes next in his career.

Jeroen, congratulations on this amazing book. You have undoubtedly worked hard on this for many hours and the result is impressive, it has become a real page turner! The fascinating and passionate writing style in combination with the beautiful photos makes it seem as if you are being teleported to the site of the volcanic eruption itself with Jeroen as your guide. I had the pleasure to view the volcanic eruption with Jeroen and it was really one of my best travel experiences EVER. That's why I'm so happy with this book, it always reminds me of the power and beauty of the Icelandic nature I witnessed, as well as the enthusiasm of Jeroen while telling me about how they eruption begun, how it evolved and what to expect in the future. What I expect for the future are many more beautiful photo books of Jeroen. I am eagerly looking forward to the next one. Keep up the good work!

I have read your book ‘New Earth’ and of course I saw the pictures: very impressive your adventure at the Geldingadalir eruption. Specially the images you made with the drone give very creative patterns of the eruption, very nice. That’s also the story from making the first pictures to – in a certain way – live in the eruption. We, my wife and I, visited Iceland three times, every time we were impressed by nature.

I savored Jeroen’s journey as if I was the one making each hike to experience the Fagradalsfjall eruption. It was easy to do since his journaling style painted such a vivid picture of each unique hike with such definition that the reader could not help to feel as though that WE were on each hike. I read the book slowly since New Earth was on my nightstand. A little bit every night. I wanted to savor each visit to the volcano. Honestly, I simply did not want the book to end!

I visited Fagradalsfjall volcano at the end of September 2021. Unfortunately, I could not reach the crater due to heavy storms. But the lava spouts gave an impression of the power and fascination of the event. The book by Jeroen is an impressive documentation of the eruption with many outstanding pictures. You can see the effort and passion of Jeroen to publish this book. I can only recommend it to everyone.

When I heard about the Reykjanes Eruption, I checked the live streams daily and found locals to follow their social media profiles for the latest updates. That's how I came across Jeroen and heard about his idea of crowdfunding his book about the visits to the eruption site. I liked his pictures and the way he told the story behind them, so it was immediately clear that I would support this project. At least since our more or less "accidental" meeting at the volcano, it was clear to me that this book would meet or even exceed my expectations: I've had the book in front of me since Christmas and I can only recommend everyone to follow Jeroen on his photographic journey of the Geldingadalir Eruption!

Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove I recieved the book yesterday evening ❤ what a treat. It was very nicely packaged and when i looked at the book was every bit as good as i thought it would be. Divine images and the written account of your experiences just made it even more special. Also believe that you were out there on some of the same nights as i was on some occasions and captured some amazing shots of exactly the same experiences that i tried to capture on my phone. (I live near to this volcano) This is an incredible feeling. My phone didnt do it any justice but yr shots add an extra dimension to my memories, taking me back there again almost to where i could smell and see and feel and hear the small details again that would otherwise be lost in the mists of memory failure. Thank you for capturing with yr lens what my eyes could see and my heart could feel but my phone couldnt capture ❤❤❤

I saw the eruption during three different phases. Some along the time described in this book. It is excellend how it captures the feelings, moments and thoughts that also I had during the time at the volcano. And I know how much work it is to set up such a book all by your own. I would say 6 out of 5 stars are here my recommendations.

I love this book- I found this gem by accident and am so pleased I did! Jeroen’s photography is stunning and his narrative of the eruption is really told from the heart. He captures the birth and evolution of this new volcano in such a personal and evocative way and enables the reader to witness his and the eruption’s journeys as if you were alongside him. Having excitedly made my way to witness the event for myself, this book is a perfect memento of the most exciting spectacle I’ve ever seen. My photography was so unprofessional, but Jeroen’s is beautiful and gets into the heart of the eruption at close range. Some of his aerial shots are also breathtaking. I kept saying “wow” throughout! A fantastic book for anyone who visited Geldingadalir, wanted to but couldn’t, or anyone with a passion for volcanoes who’d appreciate witnessing the story of this incredible eruption. Magical! Also, the postal service to the UK was seriously impressive and the hardback book is of excellent quality, with paper which optimises the photos. Thank you Jeroen!

Not because Jeroen is a Belgian Icelander (and of which I am proud as a compatriot) but his book is really a beautiful work, unique, magnificent and stunning photography and very nice design, but also the text in which the author talks about his experiences and emotions when viewing the wonderful natural spectacle and the daily changing landscape of the 6 months lasting recent eruption of the Geldingadalir volcano on Iceland reads as if you were standing next to him. Highly recommended from someone who has had the chance to experience over 15 volcano eruptions and owns 45 books about volcanoes, so I can safely say that I can distinguish the wheat from the chaff. By the way Jeroen is also a great private guide as I could experience myself being next to him on the volcano #jvnphoto #jeroenvannieuwenhove, #newearth

Wow Jeroen! Just wow! I have visited this friendly volcano 4 times. It’s only afterwards that I realised how extremely lucky I was to be there during the last week she was active. What I saw was absolutely beyond expectations and even building up with each visit. But I knew I never could take pictures that did justice to the scenery so I just enjoyed those hours. And now … I have the perfect book that brings back all my memories. Thanks Jeroen for your countless visits to the area, the stunning pictures and the insight in your journey. This makes this book very special to me.

I was one of the fortunate ones able to witness the eruption of this volcano in July and was mesmerized. It’s easy to see how someone could fall in love with this phenomenon and the book New Earth is not only a photographic masterpiece but also a love story. The love Jeroen has for this volcano and Iceland is so obviously evidenced by the images and the story told alongside them. It truly captures the raw beauty of Geldingadalir on both its large scale and in its intricate details. I admired Jeroen’s photos when I saw them before the book was published, his just stood out- and I believe it’s because his passion and fascination for the eruption shows in his images. I recommend this book to anyone who wants not just a photographic timeline of the eruption, but also the memorable impact it has made on so many people and our earth.

Wow - what a fantastic book. The photos of the volcano are simply epic. And l love the story woven around them as the Volcano evolves. Well done on this awesome work. I've seen lava up close myself, first in Hawaii, and then with this Icelandic volcano. The book really captures the experience of what it's like to see, hear, feel and taste the raw force of nature.

I think that the narrative is a good framing device for the photos to give them a bit of context. That way I don’t feel like I’m just browsing through someone’s photo album but instead I feel like I'm along for the ride.

It was the beginning of a genuine photographic journey which exceeded all his expectations. In this book, Jeroen shares his collection of images taken from day one until the very last day of the eruption. The photographs are strengthened by sharing his story about his experiences whilst photographing the eruption.
The book combines Jeroen’s photography of the eruption with interesting stories on how those photographs came to be. He also shares how this volcanic event left a big impact on him personally and how his experience started evolving together with the eruption.

Thank you for capturing with yr lens what my eyes could see and my heart could feel but my phone couldnt capture ❤❤❤

I saw the eruption during three different phases. Some along the time described in this book. It is excellend how it captures the feelings, moments and thoughts that also I had during the time at the volcano. And I know how much work it is to set up such a book all by your own. I would say 6 out of 5 stars are here my recommendations.

I love this book- I found this gem by accident and am so pleased I did! Jeroen’s photography is stunning and his narrative of the eruption is really told from the heart. He captures the birth and evolution of this new volcano in such a personal and evocative way and enables the reader to witness his and the eruption’s journeys as if you were alongside him. Having excitedly made my way to witness the event for myself, this book is a perfect memento of the most exciting spectacle I’ve ever seen. My photography was so unprofessional, but Jeroen’s is beautiful and gets into the heart of the eruption at close range. Some of his aerial shots are also breathtaking. I kept saying “wow” throughout! A fantastic book for anyone who visited Geldingadalir, wanted to but couldn’t, or anyone with a passion for volcanoes who’d appreciate witnessing the story of this incredible eruption. Magical!
Also, the postal service to the UK was seriously impressive and the hardback book is of excellent quality, with paper which optimises the photos. Thank you Jeroen!

Not because Jeroen is a Belgian Icelander (and of which I am proud as a compatriot) but his book is really a beautiful work, unique, magnificent and stunning photography and very nice design, but also the text in which the author talks about his experiences and emotions when viewing the wonderful natural spectacle and the daily changing landscape of the 6 months lasting recent eruption of the Geldingadalir volcano on Iceland reads as if you were standing next to him. Highly recommended from someone who has had the chance to experience over 15 volcano eruptions and owns 45 books about volcanoes, so I can safely say that I can distinguish the wheat from the chaff. By the way Jeroen is also a great private guide as I could experience myself being next to him on the volcano #jvnphoto #jeroenvannieuwenhove, #newearth

Wow Jeroen! Just wow! I have visited this friendly volcano 4 times. It’s only afterwards that I realised how extremely lucky I was to be there during the last week she was active. What I saw was absolutely beyond expectations and even building up with each visit. But I knew I never could take pictures that did justice to the scenery so I just enjoyed those hours. And now … I have the perfect book that brings back all my memories. Thanks Jeroen for your countless visits to the area, the stunning pictures and the insight in your journey. This makes this book very special to me.

The book is excellently put together with great narrative with the pictures. I love the fact that it tells a story about how the volcano evolved and how the photos came about. Really brings back memories of my trip to see the volcano

I was one of the fortunate ones able to witness the eruption of this volcano in July and was mesmerized. It’s easy to see how someone could fall in love with this phenomenon and the book New Earth is not only a photographic masterpiece but also a love story. The love Jeroen has for this volcano and Iceland is so obviously evidenced by the images and the story told alongside them. It truly captures the raw beauty of Geldingadalir on both its large scale and in its intricate details. I admired Jeroen’s photos when I saw them before the book was published, his just stood out- and I believe it’s because his passion and fascination for the eruption shows in his images. I recommend this book to anyone who wants not just a photographic timeline of the eruption, but also the memorable impact it has made on so many people and our earth.

Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove I recieved the book yesterday evening ❤ what a treat. It was very nicely packaged and when i looked at the book was every bit as good as i thought it would be. Divine images and the written account of your experiences just made it even more special. Also believe that you were out there on some of the same nights as i was on some occasions and captured some amazing shots of exactly the same experiences that i tried to capture on my phone.
