The Reykjanes Eruptions by Max Milligan

This extraordinary book charts the journey between the two first phases of the Reykjanes volcanic eruptions—from the carefree carnival-like atmosphere of 2021 and 2022 to the darker days of 2024 and beyond.

It is a deeply personal vision from acclaimed photographer Max Milligan, who dedicated three years to capturing the eruptions in all their forms. His images reveal the awe-inspiring contrasts of nature: the brilliance of orange clouds against star-filled skies, the sounds of the Earth creating new land, and the scents of molten rock and burnt moss. This is the drama of fire and stone, creation and destruction, told through one man’s lens.

This special Lava Show edition includes an exclusive preface by Icelandic author Andri Snær Magnason and the inspiring startup story of Lava Show—the world’s only live lava experience. Together, they place these eruptions within a broader cultural and human context, celebrating both Iceland’s fiery landscapes and the vision to share them with the world.
