Ice Diamonds on black lava beach. One of the few places on earth to have both Ice Diamonds and black lave in tandem. The first two weeks of the Arctic Arts Project have been nothing short of epic. Iceland has provided the project with a profound sense of importance, revealing its dynamic presence in the earth's ever-changing story.

This region of Iceland is nothing short of epic. Colors of minerals and vegetation nothing like I’d ever seen. A volcanist’s paradise, or more specific an artist’s. This ever changing landscape blends volcanic evolution, with extreme elements and forces of nature, to provide a visual playground to all who venture here.

This is what Arctic Arts is about. The divergent story lines of these glaciers is profound. The seemingly peaceful summit of a volcano is marked in sharp contrast by the rapid movements of the ice flow just a few miles away. The melting ice changes a summer river into a torrent of volcanic sediments. A lot to ponder.
