Monstrum

Description

In a land of volcanic symphony, the ‘tongue’ of solidified lava formed during the spectacular eruption of Fagradalsfjall volcano on Iceland’s Reykjanes peninsula appears as a remarkable work of nature’s art.

This photograph captures the moment when liquid streams of lava solidified over time to form a compact, coagulated ‘tongue’. Each structure of this unique rock formation seems to tell the story of the inexorable volcanic force that created these extraordinary shapes.

This is not only a picture of frozen beauty, but also an attempt to get closer to the secrets hidden in every corner of this ‘tongue’ – a testimony to the powerful energy of nature that shapes our planet.
