From the introduction:

The photographs in this book reflect my journeys around Iceland over the past four years. They do not necessarily give an accurate view of what another traveller might see to begin with. There are no roads, no man-made constructions and no people. Just nature in its purest form.

I have consciously tried to eliminate any traces of anything that reminds one of a human presence. I visited the crater at Askja during the autumn, after the tourist season was over. That way, I had the place to myself and could direct my camera at whatever I pleased. I photographed the waterfall Goðafoss in a downpour and had some difficulty keeping the raindrops off the lens. No travellers have any interest in a waterfall in that kind of weather. By choosing my own locations in my own time I managed to have an innumerable number of places just to myself. Even at the famous landmark, Gullfoss waterfall, there were no people around despite it being high summer. But perhaps that is because it was four o’clock in the morning.
