Awesome Iceland - PHOTO

Iceland has become a favourite filming spot for Hollywood movies and these spectacular images certainly show why.Known as the 'Land of Fire and Ice', the spectacular Nordic island has been used as a location for the box office hits Prometheus and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty as well as the fantasy series Game of Thrones.With stunning scenery and otherworldly vistas, it is also a photographer's dream, says Peter Rolf Hammer, who captured these amazing photos on a five-week journey across the country.The Australian, from Melbourne, was inspired by Iceland's varied landscape, from  geysers and waterfalls to volcanoes and mountains.He said: 'It's no surprise at all that Hollywood is filming in Iceland. The scenery is spectacular.'The 69 year old retired electronic engineer spent five weeks travelling around Iceland in a bid to capture its beauty on film and the results are an awe-inspiring set of snaps, filled with rugged landscapes and dramatic scenes.He said: 'I have always liked to travel to places which are not your average tourist destination and where you can see dramatic landscapes.'I get a really positive reaction from people that see my photographs, the usual reaction is "wow".'We do need to care and protect the world's wilderness areas from development.'I think our modern civilisation is far too much involved with money and not considering the environment.'(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.az
