"Fumaroles" is the third piece of Johan Lolos' genesis NFT series "Hálendið".
Hálendið, which means "Highlands" in Icelandic, is a photography series of 5 pieces that are a tribute to the painting-like landscapes of the Icelandic Highlands. Ever since Johan first visited this part of the world he has been amazed by the huge diversity of colors that can be found in the Highlands. The unparalleled contrasts and shapes of the Hálendið make this region of Iceland so unique in the whole world, to the point it becomes almost surreal to any visitor.
This particular piece is a photograph of the Kerlingarfjöll mountains, a small mountain range situated in the Icelandic Highlands that are part of an active volcanic system, as it can be seen in the image with the presence of many steam fumaroles. The orange/brown color is a result of the high amount of rhyolite, a volcanic rock, which the Kerlingarfjöll mountains are made of.
What makes this piece so special to Johan is that he took it in 2017, as part of his "Peaks of Europe" photo project, before this place became very popular amongst landscape photographers. In 2017, Johan stumbled upon one image of Kerlingarfjöll, making him want to add this location for his project. When he visited the place in June 2017 for the first time, he had no expectation of any kind. It's only when he started to hike through this magnificent landscape that he quickly realized how unique and photogenic this place was, not to mention how much it looked like a giant painting. He spent the whole day trying to capture it from every angle, but none of the photos he took really gave justice to how majestic those mountains were. After a few hours of pure solitude in this remote part of Iceland though, two hikers appeared out of nowhere. This was it. Luckily, Johan was standing at the perfect place with his camera to capture both the atmosphere of Kerlingarfjöll and its majesty, thanks to those hikers who gave a perfect sense of scale. Kerlingarfjöll means "Old Lady Mountains" in Icelandic.
