LOCATION: Iceland
STORY: While on a multi-week underwater shooting trip throughout Iceland, I came across a most peculiar field filled with shallow crystal-clear and nearly freezing water. As it turns out, this was a farmer’s field that had been split by a recent earthquake. With permission, I investigated a gaping crack in his farmland, and once below the surface, my mind was absolutely blown. The Earth had literally been torn by the earthquake, exposing rock on either side of a chasm. But just at the surface, where the field was now sloping into the massive crack, all the plant life remained. And because these above-water plants didn’t know they were underwater, they were continuing the process of photosynthesis, creating a tiny metallic sheen of oxygen bubbles across the surface of their leaves. In taking the photo, I am in a drysuit, positioned upright, with my head bobbing at the surface, and my fins about 1/3 of the way down into the chasm, which was about 25′ deep at it’s maximum, where a slight current was percolating up from the water table.
