The volcanic eruption near Fagradalsfjall, a mountain in the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland has drawn quite a crowd. Since March, it has become one of the hot topics in the world of photography, with some of our lovely community members even getting a chance to snap pictures of the active volcanic fissure (here and here).

Well, there was one person who was so inspired by this unique phenomenon that she hiked there a total of 25 times to take what ended up being a handful of self-portraits with all of Iceland’s volcanic majesty included.

Featured today on Bored Panda is Anna Isabella Christensen, a photographer who aims to highlight the harmonious relationship between human being and nature. We got in touch with Anna for an exclusive interview about her Eruption Series, which you can check out, vote and comment on below!

    Anna also highlights that what you see here are originals and none of these photos were manipulated after capturing them. “For me, it’s not only about the end result, but the whole experience of taking these photos. They are frozen moments and each one has its own story,” said Anna.

    There’s also a nearly 4-minute behind-the-scenes video that Anna put together to explain some of the nuances and intricacies of the Eruption Series, so be sure to check it out in this article or on YouTube.

    But this is just the tip of the iceberg as Anna has done a slew of other self-portraits with absolutely amazing natural landscapes in the background. You can check out more on her website, Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.
