It has been called the nation of fire and ice and as these stunning pictures proves, it is certainly the latter.

The magnificent ever-changing landscapes of Iceland where the freezing temperatures make the icebergs and glaciers shift in every shade of blue, from turquoise and azure to indigo.

With it's volcanic 'black beaches', northern lights and stunning fiords - home of the icebergs - the Northern European nation is a photographer's dream.

Photographer Tim Vollmer, 41, and partner Marketa Kalvachova, 32, spend months travelling to the mythical island, and braving freezing temperatures to shoot the most amazing sights.

And due to the ever-changing appearance of the ice they insist they never get bored - because they will never come across the same iceberg more than once.

 

Photographer Tim, from Germany, who organises workshops to the region said: ‘Marketa and I moved to Iceland in 2005 and we instantly fell in love with the snow and ice.

‘We became fascinated by the textures and tones. Every day we go out to shoot pictures the light, formation, shape and colours are completely different.'

‘The lifecycle of the landscape creates unbelievable sights. All these images were taken over the last couple of months but if I went back now they would look different.

‘It's an adventure every time because there is always something new to photograph.

‘Some of the colours are so spectacular I don't think you could see them anywhere else in the world.

‘We first started taking images to capture the place we were in for the memories but now we want to highlight the beauty of the ice and show others what makes them exciting.

‘More and more we find ourselves going out to take photos - it's a special area for us.’
