Landscape nominee

One of the most breathtaking sites in the world, the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. When I arrived there, I was struck by the serene scene of the iceberg-strewn waters of the lagoon itself. In spite of its beauty, this stunning scene of drifting icebergs is created from the melting ice glacier of a tongue stretching south from the Vatnajökull, Iceland’s largest ice cap. The lagoon only emerged in 1934: since then, rising temperatures have caused the glacier to recede and the lagoon to expand. As a matter of fact, it is a dramatic landscape where you can witness the icy wall of the glacier collapse and crumple into the water below. As such, it is the poignant product of a warming world. Moreover, because of the increasing number of tourists who want to get close to the icebergs, the tour business is growing: every day, hundreds of boats take visitors around iceberg-studded waters, to witness a treasure vanish. As a photographer, I think it is an important task to show Nature’s dramatic condition and maybe to awaken those emotions that scientific reports and data are probably still unable to produce.

Much of my work focuses on the language of nature, on my relationship with the natural world. I think that common objects and simple landscapes evoke parallel worlds where dreaminess and double meaning prevail, so that outer space gives voice to my inner gaze.
