Iceland's Giant's Causeway

Iceland's Giant's Causeway

Iceland is fast becoming the photography capital of the world - and with stunning results like these, it's easy to see why. These breathtaking images of the country's largest ice cap reveal the ancient forces of nature at work above and below the mammoth glacier.
Covering eight per cent of the country, the sharp, icy blue scenery was created as subterranean volcanoes erupted under the ice, melting the giant mass of frozen water.The results were spectacular enough to be used in two James Bond movies, Tomb Raider and Batman Begins. With tourism forming over 30 per cent of the island's income, visitors to the ice flows are treated to wonders such as the Jvkulsarlsn lagoon, dramatic ice walls and ominous icebergs.
