By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/iceland-from-a-birds-eye-view.htmlIceland is a real dream for a geologist. In addition to volcanoes, this small island country has glaciers, rocky coasts, amazing geysers, thermal springs and other natural wonders. However, it is not necessary to wear the boots of a geologist to explore the landscape of this amazing country. Recently, Italian photographer Sandro Santioli took a series of photos of Iceland from a bird's-eye view.

"Aerial photos have always inspired me. These landscapes seem incredible from the ground, but from a bird's-eye view, they are simply amazing, " says the photographer. "I especially like places like seas, lakes, mountains, and volcanoes." Pictured: Landeyasandur. (Sandro Santioli, Solent News & Photo Agency)
"During my work, I faced many challenges. First, the weather, I had to fly in a tiny plane that was constantly shaking because of the air currents." In the photo: Tungnaa River. (Sandro Santioli, Solent News & Photo Agency)
For most of the flight, the plane's windows had to be open. So it was incredibly cold in the cabin. In the photo: Tungnaarfjell Mountains. (Sandro Santioli, Solent News & Photo Agency)
"It was especially cold in the area of the glaciers." In the photo: Skaftarjekull glacier. (Sandro Santioli, Solent News & Photo Agency)
"Very soon, your hands start to freeze so that you can barely move them. And at the same time, something incredible is happening in your stomach." In the photo: Tungnaa River area. (Sandro Santioli, Solent News & Photo Agency)
"One of my favorite photos is the Blue Lagoon," Sandro says. – This is a lagoon with hot springs surrounded by lava, where people often come. From a height, it looks simply gorgeous." (Sandro Santioli, Solent News & Photo Agency)
