Laurent Paquin recently had the chance to escape to a landscape entirely different from Quebec’s: Iceland. He and his family captured breathtaking scenery and generously shared it with us. An enchanting world that, even through the photos, transports us—an absolute must-see!
Volcanic Selfie
In this photo, Laurent proudly displays a volcanic rock he found in Iceland. It is most likely vesicular basalt, a dark, porous rock born from the rapid cooling of molten lava.
Relaxing Soak
Laurent enjoyed a moment of relaxation in a natural bath, one of Iceland’s great treasures. These geothermal pools offer a number of benefits: they soothe the skin, promote mental relaxation, and boost blood circulation.
Selfie on the Road
On Iceland’s roads, travel is part of the adventure. Every leg of the journey becomes its own experience, offering spectacular, breathtaking landscapes.
Selfie on the Grey Beach
Laurent captured a moment in front of a grey-sand beach sculpted by Iceland’s intense volcanic activity.
Volcanic Playground
Iceland is a true volcanic playground, and its craters rank among the most striking landscapes.
Helmet Safety
Wearing a helmet for certain Icelandic activities—hiking lava fields, climbing, caving, exploring ice caves or cliffs—is a crucial safety measure. It helps protect against falls as well as potential rockfalls.
Waterfalls
Waterfalls in Iceland are among the country’s most spectacular landscapes. There are literally thousands of them, from hidden, tiny cascades to immense, world-renowned falls.
Hot Spring in Full Boil
Behind Laurent, you can glimpse a hot spring in full boil, releasing a cloud of steam that is a hallmark of Iceland’s geothermal landscapes.
Little Houses
While exploring Iceland, Laurent spotted these small houses that seem taken from a fairy tale. Their quiet charm, tucked into the rugged natural surroundings, made him feel as if he were traveling through a movie.
Family Selfie
A family trip wouldn’t feel complete without the classic shot of the whole clan gathered before a postcard-worthy natural setting.
