In the Land of Fire and Ice: Horses of Iceland

by Guadalupe Laiz (Photographer), Thrainn Kolbeinsson (Contributor)

Laiz’s intimate color and black-and-white images of the majestic Icelandic horses are pure poetry in motion.

 Laiz captures the undeniable beauty of the horses in their natural habitat and showcases the rugged, harsh, and unpredictable environment that has shaped their character.  Laiz collaborated with local horse breeders and with Icelandic photographer, filmmaker, and artist Thrainn Kolbeinsson to capture the magnificent animals in iconic and breathtaking locations—from the famous Skógafoss blanketed with snow to the active Fagradalsfjall volcano; and galloping across beaches, frolicking amid glaciers, and with waterfalls, tundra, and fierce ocean backdrops. Kolbeinsson’s powerful drone photography featured throughout the book showcases the aerial perspective of these epic landscapes that have shaped the horses of Iceland.

Laiz’s photographs are testament to her passion for the Icelandic horse and wildlife photography. She shares this collection to reveal the beauty and importance of the remote corners of our planet and the unique animals that call it home.

In the Land of Fire and Ice: Horses of Iceland will be a superb addition for enthusiasts of wildlife photography, exploration travel, nature conservation, and anyone who admires the awe-inspiring beauty of Iceland and its horses.
