German photographerJan Erik Waideris known for his interesting approach to landscape photography.
So, it was only natural that he make a trip when theFagradalsfjall volcano began eruptingin March 2021.
While there, he produced hisLAVAseries, which gives a close-up look at both magma and cooled lava.
Waider positioned himself in the Natthagi valley and was able to get close to a fresh lava flow.
This caused new shapes that provided a constant source of inspiration for Waider.
This kind of simultaneously beautiful but also brutal transience was the charm for me, he recalled.
The results are fascinating.
Each photograph is a visual delight that highlights the surprising diversity of the lava.
Landscape photographer Jan Erik Waider spent three days photographing lava from the Fagradalsfjall volcano.
The landscape was constantly changing as cooling lava broke open to reveal molten rock below.
