Nicknamed “The Land of Fire and Ice,” Iceland is home to an exceptionally diverse array of landscapes teeming with topographical gems and majestic skies. For these reasons, it’s no surprise the destination is considered a haven for photographers all over the world. After dreaming of visiting the scenic country for years, 2024 finally presented an opportunity for Swiss photographer Jennifer Esseiva (previously).
Esseiva devoted a 10-day trip across southern Iceland entirely to the region’s vast surroundings, from the black sand beaches, towering glaciers, and impressive waterfalls to the moss-covered formations and striking displays of the Northern Lights.
“Where many prefer to travel in sunshine, I’m more interested in clouds and rain,” she says. “I’ve always found that photographing landscapes in different weather conditions gives them another dimension, a unique grandeur.”
The photographer is planning a forthcoming trip in March, this time to Finnish Lapland. Keep an eye on her Instagram for more, and check out her website for past projects and prints for purchase.
