Iceland is the largest volcanic island on earth. Nature is characterized by volcanism both above and below water. The tectonic divergence of two continental plates puts the island just below the Arctic Circle in a turmoil and constant change. This created unique landscapes, marked by countless volcanic cones, geysers, hot springs and lakes, cold deserts, glaciers, moss-grown lava fields and rugged coastlines, swept by the waves of the North Atlantic. Animals and plants have adapted to these circumstances and are survivalists. This nature documentary shows all this in impressive pictures.
