Eye of the volcano

from $60.00

Litli-Hrútur (Iceland). The 2023 eruption. A twenty-kilometer hike round trip, burdened by heavy equipment and a backpack cutting into my shoulders. The Icelandic landscape around me was barren and beautiful in an indifferent way: a void that requires no witness. Stone. Ash. Wind. A volcano is not merely a visual experience. It is sound: dense and forceful, as if the earth were breathing through shattered lungs. And heat, the palpable pulse of the ground itself.
