In Halldor Laxness' novel Under the Glacier, the protagonist travels from Reykjavik to the mythical volcano at the Snaefellsjoekull glacier, a place in whose shadow "words cease to have even the slightest meaning." This could be a leitmotif for Jurgen Wettke's Iceland images. Whereas language can hardly convey the majesty and beauty of a landscape, the photographs in ICELAND - Nature of the North speak volumes in their eloquence. Wettke's photographic journey across the volcanic island is guided by nature's elemental forces: he shows us the diverse forms of fire, water, air, light, and earth. Whether the structures of lava flows, sculptural ice formations, or nature's artworks, aurora borealis, lighting up the sky-Jurgen Wettke's photography brings us closer to these wonders of nature. We discover Iceland in an entirely new and breathtaking way!
When you hear the word "desert," what do you think of? If you imagine more than just endless sand, heat, and emptiness, Jurgen Wettke's The Namib Desert is the perfect photo book for you. With an excellent eye for unusual structures and colors, Wettke invigorates our imagination and shows us that the desert is a place of unexpected variety. There are only a few landscapes on the earth like Namibia where shapes and colors change so rapidly while giving such an immediate feel for how our world originally came to be.
Jurgen Wettke has masterfully captured this ambivalence on film and preserved once-in-a-lifetime moments of ephemeral beauty.
