From a safe distance, French drone photographer Armand Sarlangue arranges a rendezvous with an explosive volcanic fissure located several hundred meters from the main crater of Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland—also known as the “Land of Ice and Fire.”

Dancing far above gleaming molten lava, Sarlangue’s drone camera captured what no unaided human photographer could hope to achieve. The fissure—a glowing orange eye radiating geothermal energy, with veins of fire spiraling kaleidoscopically outward—takes center stage in this arresting image titled “Big Bang.”
