Eruption 1913-2004. Authors are Ari Trausti Guðmundsson and Ragnar Th. Sigurðsson.
The hard-to-find image is as beautiful as the play of colors and transformations that unfold when the earth cracks and volcanic eruptions erupt. This magnificent book contains photographs of all the volcanic eruptions of the 20th century that Icelandic photographers have documented. The work, which is in large fragments, is divided into seven main chapters, each dedicated to one volcanic source; Krafla, Askja, Grímsvötn, Hekla, Kötla, Surtsey and Heimaey. Ari Trausti Guðmundsson's lively captions place the images in the context of volcanic activity and volcanoes, but he also writes an introduction to each chapter and an informative overview of the history and nature of volcanic eruptions and landscaping in Iceland. Ragnar Th. Sigurðsson handled the photo editing and image processing and consulted the workshops of all the nation's leading photographers in this field.
