22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Steam and Solitude
This photograph showcases the geothermal landscape of Kerlingarfjöll, Iceland. Volcanic hills in shades of ochre, orange, and brown create a surreal and otherworldly terrain, accented by the white of lingering snow. Wisps of steam rise from the geothermal vents, hinting at the intense geothermal activity beneath the surface. A lone figure in the distance underscores the vastness and raw beauty of the landscape, while a winding stream weaves its way through the scene, adding a sense of movement.
