Iceland : the creation of the world

Feature

Iceland :

the creation of the world Š Emilio SUETONE / hemis.fr

In this island of the ends of the Arctic, the nature is on the scale of the giants, the colors to the measure of the universe, earth, air, fire and sea in perpetual movement, like a work of art that the Creator would retouched without tiring. And whereas Reykjavik has an Avant-Gardiste attitude, legends, sagas, trolls and elfs are still roaming the countryside.
