Over the last decade, Bernhard Edmaier has photographed volcanoes both active and dormant around the world, amassing an archive of aerial photographs depicting an amazing range of geothermal phenomena and formations. As well as spectacular pyrotechnics, this book features photographs that reveal how volcanic activity has shaped the landscape of our planet.
Bernhard Edmaier (b.1957) trained as a civil engineer and geologist and has photographed the earth’s surface for over 15 years. The result of meticulous planning and research, his extraordinary travels take him from the endless deserts of Africa to the ice plains of Iceland and the coral of the Great Barrier Reef. His abstractly beautiful compositions offer an awe-inspiring view of our planet.
