Martin Schulz, a German with a fondness for Iceland, has visited the country countless times in the past years.

During his most recent visit, he photographed the Holuhraun eruption, as well as the Northern Lights and Jökulsárlón, all in one photo. He writes on the travel blog Stuck in Iceland:

"Miles of stony deserts, barren and colorful highlands, vast glaciers and smoking lava fields. But the deepest impression of the forces of nature was left by the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in 2010. I was very much impressed with how small you are as a human being when faced with such immense forces of nature and how well the people in Iceland dealt with it all."
