There is an astonishing relationship between man and the cormorant. In China the bird is used for fishing, in Peru its droppings are used as fertilizer and in Iceland it can be found on the supper table. In the Galapagos it lives in harmony with nature and has abandoned flying.
Wonders of Water
Director of Photography
Water is one of the most amazing substances on earth. It contradicts almost all of the rules of physics and chemistry. For instance, it has the unique characteristic of expanding and growing lighter when it becomes solid. All other substances grow heavier upon turning solid and contract as the temperature decreases. This is what causes ice to float on top of water, instead of collecting on the bottom, which makes all the difference for aquatic life and in fact for all life on earth. In addition, water has the highest specific heat of any substance, which makes it a superb heat reservoir and heat equaliser. Without water, the earth would be a desert because of fluctuations in heat.

A Silent Explosion
Camera Operator
Magnús' life has been colourful, mostly because he is never satisfied with the status quo. In his art he is constantly changing and his interest lies in every field of art. To his mind being an artist is an inner need or compulsion and does not necessarily require being talented at drawing. "Drawing has hardly anything to do with art, no more than anything else. It is more important for að so-called artist to know how to manipulate a microphone like this one".
