Iceland’s breathtaking beauty: From an eye-popping waterfall to a ‘petrified troll’ in the sea, spectacular pictures show off the country's most amazing scenery
These astonishing snaps reveal the magic of Iceland's rugged and beautiful landscapes – and why the country remains high on many holidaymakers' bucket lists. With exquisite detail, tourist Wim Denijs captured eye-popping scenes that show fog rolling over mountains, water sweeping over the Godafoss falls, and a calm day on the water surrounding the majestic Hvítserkur, a 50ft basalt rock on the Vatnsnes peninsula. The 60-year-old photographer has been drawn to Iceland's unique landscapes ever since the 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajokull. Scroll down for video It's tourist attractions such as the spectacular Godafoss waterfall that lure nearly one million holidaymakers to Iceland every year According to Icelandic legend, the majestic Hvítserkur, a 50ft basalt rock on the Vatnsnes peninsula, is a petrified troll With exquisite detail, tourist Wim Denijs captured eye-popping scenes, including this one showing fog rolling over mountains The volcanic eruption produced a massive ash cloud that shut down much of Europe's airspace, grounding more than 100,000 flights and ruining millions of holidays. Wim, from Flanders, Belgium, said: 'I discovered Iceland in 2010 after the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull and there I realised how small and fragile we are. 'I saw the melting of the glaciers, the power of nature and I became more and more a landscape-photographer. 'It's so beautiful when you're standing in the middle of a river and you see that everything's in harmony - the shapes of the mountains, the flood of the water and the colours of the sky.' The 60-year-old photographer has been drawn to Iceland's unique landscapes ever since the 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajokull Iceland is home to some of the most stunning waterfalls in the world, with plenty to gaze at in every corner of the country Located on the Skjalfandafljot river, Godafoss falls is a popular stop for many holidaymakers when they tour north-east Iceland Wim has visited Iceland seven times since 2010, but is still discovering amazing sights. His favourite picture in this set was taken on the pains of the Vestrahorn – an imposing mountain in the south-east of the country. He said: 'I'm especially intrigued by culture, colour and lights, including a photographic study of landscape and people's lives. The Vestrahorn mountain, in south-eastern Iceland, is nearly 1,500ft tall and believed to be around eight million years old Waves from the Atlantic Ocean crash ashore on a volcanic beach with the country's iconic black basalt sand Photographer Wim Denijs said he realised 'how small and fragile we are' after visiting Iceland for the first time in 2010 The photographer, from Flanders, Belgium, has visited Iceland seven times since the Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted five years ago 'I could look at a line of laundry flapping in the wind, a pair of old, hard-working couple, a crowd of people on the street, and find it beautiful. 'Through photography I want to tell everyone that no matter what no-one is alone no one is forgotten in this world. 'We are all human being belonging to nature no matter what political decisions are made.' |
