Icelandic Flows

Known as “The Land of Fire and Ice,” Iceland has some of the most striking landscapes around. Photographer Jennifer Esseiva captures auroras, waterfalls, geysers, rivers, and more in this series from her 2024 trip to the island. Every one of these images bears the fingerprints of fluid dynamics: plasma flows lighting up the night sky; rivers of lava that formed the land; rivers and oceans that carve through the landscape; and pressurized, superheated water that shoots up from underground plumbing.

Our weekend break in Iceland in 2015, our first visit to the country, included tickets for the popular Golden Circle tour. This started with a visit to a geothermal spot on the otherworldly Icelandic landscape where Strokkur was located. Strokkur is a fountain-type geyser that erupts around every eight minutes, shooting heated water up around twenty metres. We watched it erupt several times but the land around was equally fascinating. Bubbling puddles and the overwhelming smell of sulfur in a red-tinted landscape that could be Earth in some primordial age.

An unwelcoming landscape of red, rocky mud run through with shallow depressions that hint at some regular water flow. The land rises slightly in front of us to some low hills of similar red rock beyond. It's like a scene from Mars. The sky is oppressively grey, overcast, and the area suggests recent rain and the threat of more soon. There is a dip in the landscape just ahead of us and to the left, and rising from it is a cloud of steam, drifting and thinning as it rises up and to the left. To the right there is a line of tourists in coats and hats, most gazing at the steam, anticipating action from this volcanic geyser.
