Aurora Borealis Northern Lights Volcano

Photographing the Aurora Borealis Above an Eruption (Again)

Three years ago, during the 2021 eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcanic system in Iceland, I set out on a mission to try and capture the northern lights above an erupting volcano. I recently attempted to witness this unique & rare combination of natural phenomenons again, which I have dubbed the ‘Holy Grail of Iceland Photography’.

Behind the Shot – New Earth

For this final story of 2023, I am doing a bit of a different take on the concept. I won't specifically talk about one photograph but rather an entire project. I will share the story behind my book, New Earth - A Photographic Journey Of The Geldingadalir Eruption, which I self-published two years ago this week.
