Природа Исландии в завораживающих пейзажах. ФотоA photo journey into the country of fairy tales.

Today we decided to make a compilation of the emerald-green hills of Iceland, alongside the lunar landscape with fumaroles. In this area of the world, there is no monotony: stains, tints, transitions. Bright blue glaciers, black and red volcanoes and the magical Northern lights create surreal illusion that you are trapped in a fairy land, which is not on any map of the world. Iceland has a very unique nature, painted in unimaginable color combinations.
