A gorgeous study of nature’s epic extremes from photographer Chiara Zonca (previously featured here). Travelling to New Zealand with the intention of documenting the active areas surrounding an andesite stratovalcano, located 30 miles off the main coast of the North Island and Whakaari, Zonca taps into the feeling of exploring a long-lost world. As she describes:

“Ultimately I am hoping this collection will inspire a true sense of mystery and renewed respect for nature and our surroundings that way too often we tend to forget and should instead be re-discovered.”
