Austrian photographerWolfgang Bohuschis known for his editorial and lifestyle photography, but he still makes time for personal projects.
Cumbre Vieja is located on the island of La Palma on the Canary Islands.
A little over a week after a swarm of earthquakes occurred under Cumbre Vieja, the volcano began erupting.
The event lasted for 85 days, making it the longest eruption in the history of La Palma.
The effects of the volcano were dramatic.
Over 1,000 hectares of land were covered by lava, which destroyed over 3,000 homes.
The results speak for themselves.
Bohusch artfully captured the effects of the volcano.
His photographs are filled with black, powdery volcanic ash that has swallowed up much of the island.
In one image, we see the front of a home engulfed in ash.
Bohusch’s photographs are visually powerful and at first glance, without knowledge of the story, are surreal.
Photographer Wolfgang Bohusch traveled to the Canary Islands to photograph the impact of a volcanic eruption.
