A raven flying past an active volcano in Iceland. Volcanoes, while active are a place of death and destruction while simultaneously creation of the land we stand on and the atmosphere we breathe. It is not a hospitable place filled with toxic gas, ash, and volatile conditions, so the last thing I expected was to see wildlife. The first time the raven passed while the volcano exploded, My camera wasn’t ready. The second time, I only managed to get one photo, but to me this is a scene I will not forget that stands out amongst the many days I’ve spent documenting this volcano.
