Some of the awe-inspiring photos from photographer Ragnar Th. Sigurdsson’s new book Magma: Icelandic Volcanoes.

About the book:

After years of recording Iceland’s volcanoes up close, Sigurdsson undertook his latest project, to collect and preserve as many photographs of Icelandic volcanoes as he could find. Along with geophysicist Ari Trausti Gudmundsson, his friend for 25 years, Sigurdsson pored over archives, scanning and preserving hundreds of photos of eruptions on the small Nordic island. They are collected in the recently published book Magma: Icelandic Volcanoes. 

You can see more images in the Time gallery Iceland: Living With Volcanoes gallery or you can see them all by buying the book.

Artist Stéfane Perraud - “Maia” is a skull covered with 1 106 LEDs It has been made in 2010. The power and the frequency of the light could produce injuries.

Through questionning light as a media, my artistic work tries to identify the purpose of science today. Therefore, the new media, which are my main tools, reveal the fact that light itself is a media. I am using digital technologies differently in each of my creations, in order to adapt the media to the work, without limit of its kind. Thus my work jumps successively from installation to performance. I have been to several solo shows and festival and such as, La Villette Paris, Steim - Amsterdam, Le Cube-Issy les Moulineaux, Nuit Blanche- Paris, WE project-Brusell, La Chambre Blanche-Canada, Multiplicidade- Brasil, Théâtre de la Cité Internationale-Paris… - Stéfane Perraud

Deep Ocean Technology has announced its plans to build an underwater hotel. With helipads, a diving center, underwater tourist vehicles, a spa, garden areas and its upper level discs that will convert into lifesaving vessels if needed, they’ve thought of everything.
