The project was born after Capra saw another photographer's video on Iceland.

"The landscape is unreal," he says.

Using the remainder of his vacation days, Capra timed his trip during the summer months, a time of year when the midnight sun would provide extra hours of sunlight.

He did a little pre-planning, but he spent a lot of time veering off into remote locations if he spotted something interesting.

"I didn't really have a plan for what I was doing. Anything I saw that was out of the ordinary, or some crazy landscape, I just got out and shot it."

His adventurous spirit paid off, allowing him to capture incredible shots of pristine, untouched landscapes.
