Akureyri, Iceland
By Pascal Fellonneau
3 Mar 2008
Forgoing the usual cliches of Icelandic purity and awe-inspiring natural wonder, Pascal Felloneau captures a modern vision of this port city in northern Iceland. Akureyri, just 60 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle, is illuminated by a light that hovers between day and night and adds to the abandoned feel of this vision of urban life: industry and fisheries, advertisements and shopping carts, neon-illuminated lawn mowers, and suburban architecture. Focusing not on the snow-capped mountains or beautiful fjord that draws summer tourists and cruise ships, Pascal's Akureyri is a town lived day to day.
