Rocks falling in Sólheimajökull
I was supposed to wait a bit, but I couldn’t wait to show you this sound. Yesterday on Sólheimajökull (glacier in South Iceland, between Katla and Eyjafjallajökull volcanoes) the weather was fabulous. No wind, sun, warm as in summer. And since it has been raining a bit lately, rocks are flying from the slopes surrounding […]
Volcano in Iceland
I did it. I was there. With tears in my eyes because that was my dream. Flowing lava really sounds like broken glass. And, you hear, it was very close to people. The near-cosmic temperature, gas clogging the breath, could not be held there for long. This is the sound of a volcanic eruption in […]
Peace in Jökulsárlón
Iceland is called the land of ice and fire. We’ve all been living on fire for two weeks now – an eruption continues and today a new rift has opened. But I spent the last few days in the land of ice, near the Vatnajokull glacier, specifically the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. When I got there […]
Lava: close meeting
I know there’s a lot of volcano here. However, admit that this is a historic event and it is worth listening to it closely at every possible opportunity. Especially that this place is changing at an incredible pace. Where there was no lava a week ago, today there is a huge field that has cut […]
How does volcano at the magic hour sound?
Does the volcano sound different when you visit it by hitting the so-called golden hour? I am sure it does. It’s summer in Iceland, the sun is almost not set – it is bright until 11 pm, and before 5 am it is dawn again. We made it to Geldingadalur yesterday when the sun was […]
Sound of flowing lava
This is how the flowing and solidifying lava sounds. I recorded it under the volcano in Fagradalsfjall, Reykjanes peninsula, Iceland.
Hallgrímskirkja
Although the rainbow in the streets of Reykjavík is present all year round, in June – Pride Month – there is more of it. In Iceland, the celebration of equality and diversity generally lasts until August. This is where Hinsegin Dagar (Queer Day) takes place, which is actually a week long. The whole is crowned […]
Grænavatn
This is maybe something to cool down now. I went to the volcano at dawn (because where else I could go…), unfortunately the strong wind and the big orange LOKAÐ sign at the entrance to the B trail and the low lava activity on the C trail prevented me from recording anything. But I managed […]
The Puffins
To record the singing of puffins, you have to go to the other end of Iceland – to the town of Borgarfjörður eystri. It is a fjord far to the northeast, and is a full day’s drive from Reykjavik. Altogether, with a few other places, it was 1500 kilometers in two and a half days, […]
Sólheimajökull
Glacial lakes are typical of glaciers, but Icelandic glaciers are receding at an alarming rate. You can see it with the naked eye. The disappearance of this, Sólheimajökull, we can witness sooner than we think. Therefore, when collecting sounds from glaciers, I remember that I document a phenomenon that disappears before our eyes.
