As glaciers increase and recede, they’ve the capability to grind rock so positive that geologists confer with the pulverized materials as glacial flour. It slips down rivers and into lakes, carrying the otherworldly turquoise hue via a novel and resilient ecosystem. In Iceland, the blue-green coloration is complemented by rivers that stream yellow, because of sulfur from close by volcanoes, or pink from dissolved ferrous iron—also called bathroom iron. Coursing over rock and black sand, the streams tackle dazzling, rhythmic patterns.

Hamburg-based photographer Jan Erik Waider (beforehand) just lately visited a few of the nation’s undulating waterways, capturing flows and oxbows from the air with a drone. Sediment runs via broad channels, separating into streams, progressively carving via the earth and finally emptying into the ocean. “Iceland’s river and seascapes might seem unremarkable from floor degree, but from an aerial perspective, they reveal a charming array of colours and textures harking back to a dwelling watercolor portray,” the artist says.
