with black sand beaches, volcanic fields blanketed in heavy moss and over 3,000 species of mushrooms, the icelandic landscape is the most sci-fi corner of planet earth.
mushrooms dot the landscape
the dense moss, rich with moisture, is a perfect growing medium for iceland’s many species of mushrooms. experienced mushroom hunters know to visit their favorite spots a few days after it rains to find the biggest variety.

iceland’s geothermic pools and black sand beaches create stunning compositions from the air. both are created by the island’s constant volcanic activity.

iceland’s surface is carved by water, originating from either its massive glaciers or abundant rainfall.
