Underwater Iceland

"Underwater Iceland" tells the story of a diver seeking the answer to the origin of life. His journey starts where life is newly born: in Iceland. He dives in the crystal-clear lakes and waters off shore, in deep fissures between the continental plates of Europe and America. He desperately seeks the answer under icebergs and in the boiling hot water of Geysirs. He meets many creatures of the underwater world who cannot tell him the answer. It is hidden in myths and sagas. In Iceland, the nature is supreme.
