I photographed the struggle over the construction of a vast dam complex in the Central Highlands in Iceland. This is the largest dam built in Europe and the largest power generator in Iceland with its entire hydroelectric power going to an Alcoa aluminum smelter. The project has been heavily criticized for its environmental impact, use of foreign workers rather than locals and that none of its vast power production goes into Icelands power grid. The project affected the second largest (formerly) unspoiled wilderness in Europe covering about 3% of Icelands total land mass. A year after I took this photograph, it was impossible to get near this site as world-wide protests had erupted against the dam.
