Earth From Above by Yann-Arthus Bertrand

(Mountainous countryside near Maelifellssandur, Myrdalsj�kull Region, Iceland. Once the young lava fields of Iceland cool down, life begins anew little by little. Ice, wind and water flatten and carve out shapes to begin with, then, during the summer, bacteria, lichen and fungi prepare the soil for plants, in particular mosses which adapt to an environment which remains difficult. These plants colonize the most favourable sites and terrain little by little, forming a new ecosystem. (© Yann Arthus-Bertrand) #
