As contrasts go, there’s nothing quite like that of fire and ice. Or in this case, lava and icebergs.

Photographer Jan Erik Waider has an incredible eye for our natural world, and has traveled the globe sharing moments in nature that feature such contrasts in temperature, color, and form.

His series Lava, in Iceland, and A Faint Resemblance, in Antarctica showcase those two contrasts, in beautiful clarity. We see the black ribbons of  volcanic rock cooling, with the fiery orange glow of lava inside.  We also see the blunt, chiseled forms of the blue icebergs against the dark southern ocean.

Waider’s body of work is prolific, and we’ve just shared a few of his many beautiful series. See more of his work on his website, Instagram, as well as on Youtube.
