Iceland, located on the Atlantic Ocean, is a country with frequent geological activities and many volcanoes. The inland landform is mainly plains, with mostly sandy, cooled lava plains and glaciers. The natural resources are very rich and diverse: lakes, ice fields, volcanoes, and a lonely land of ice and snow.
Spanish photographer David Martin Castan went to Iceland to capture the unique beauty of this island, allowing us to see the majestic mountains and rivers, the colorful colors, and the beauty of this land where ice and fire coexist.
No matter how hard we chase and dare to face day after day, nature can always give us a place to escape from the suffocating and crowded life. Going to nature has become a modern way to change emotions. Although facing nature cannot directly solve the problems we face in life, it can always provide us with a different broadened vision. In the moment of admiration, we can also realize ourselves The insignificance of (and trouble).
Aurora is a mirage in the north and south polar regions. The mysterious and dazzling colors flowing on the curtain of night are so psychedelic and unreal. In an era when science was not yet developed, our ancestors used their imagination to explain various phenomena in nature, which resulted in beautiful legends that are still talked about by future generations. Nordic mythology records the origin of the aurora. It is said that the aurora is the soul of the dead dancing in the sky; in ancient Roman mythology, it is the fluttering skirt of the goddess of the dawn; in the ancient legend of the Eskimos, the aurora is the soul of the deceased who ascends to heaven. The torch that lights the way to heaven.
Under the halo of the green aurora, everything within sight is enveloped in a layer of eerie and strange beauty.
If you have ever considered the inevitability of death and thought that people may eventually return to the earth like fallen leaves, then whether we are too persistent and whether we sometimes appear clumsy is no longer important when we face life. We understand life better through constant sensory stimulation, and we are deeply fascinated by it. Our hearts are swayed by the ebb and flow of the sunrise and sunset, and we are paralyzed by the splendor of the aurora and unable to move. The vastness of nature is overwhelming and coming towards you. You will be helpless and unprepared to be shaken by the indescribable beauty. You will truly feel that being alive is a miracle.
