Iceland is one of the latest lands that became inhabited. Originally attractive enough only for the men of the unbending spirit - the gutsy vikings and the toughest of monks. No endemic animal species, almost no trees occurring naturally, scarce resources and yet magnificent power of nature everywhere. Its epic views have an almost fairytale enchantment. This series reflects the hostile beauty of the silent landscapes of Iceland. Humanless sceneries that need the human eyes to grasp them from their eternal stand. Shot during a long walk across the frozen island. It is through the unknown 600 kilometres walked on ice and fire that these photos became possible. The heavy backpack, the frozen feet after the crossing of rivers, the limited amount of films, the fog on the lens and the rub of camera strap on the shoulder are out of the viewfinder. What is left on the film - is the fairytale enchantment.
