I'm writing an article, with 2 columns. Because my picture is too large I want to put it on a new landscape page. So I used the following code:
\newgeometry{left=3.0cm,bottom=30mm,top=20mm}
\afterpage{%
\clearpage% Flush earlier floats (otherwise order might not be correct)
\thispagestyle{empty}% empty page style (?)
\begin{landscape}% Landscape page
\begin{figure} [H]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=1]{./figures/Figure2.png}
\caption{Xx}
\label{fig:historicaldata}
\end{figure}
\end{landscape}
\clearpage% Flush page
}
\restoregeometry
But then first a white page appears in between and after that the two column layout is gone :(. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I would use the

package'ssidewaysfigure*
environment. For example:
