Iceland West Fjords From Above Hornstrandir Polar Regions
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the untamed beauty of Hornstrandir, an area in West Fjords, Iceland that was abandoned by permanent inhabitants in the 1950s. The Polar Regions have always held a certain allure for travelers seeking remote and untouched landscapes, and this image perfectly captures that essence. The horizontal composition allows us to take in the full breadth of this stunning scene. From a high angle view, we are treated to a breathtaking vista of rocky cliffs meeting the vast expanse of sea below. The cloudy sky adds an air of mystery and drama to the already awe-inspiring landscape. As there are no people present in this photograph, it highlights the solitude and tranquility that can be found in such remote locations. The absence of human presence also emphasizes nature's dominance over these lands. The rock formations jutting out from the grassy terrain create a unique topography that is both rugged and picturesque. This juxtaposition between land and sea creates a sense of harmony between opposing forces. Ethel Davies/Robert Harding has expertly captured not only the physical geography but also the vibrant colors present in this scene. The rich hues add depth and vibrancy to an already striking composition. For those with an adventurous spirit seeking off-the-beaten-path travel destinations, Hornstrandir is sure to captivate your imagination with its wild beauty and haunting history.
