Crater Cone

The View from the top of Stóra-Grábrók, overlooking Litla-Grábrók. The ring road in Iceland drives right past this, and it's a sight you shouldn't miss! There are three craters here, all differing in size. The smallest is almost gone due to earlier mining operations, but thankfully the area is now under preservation. the view is very other-worldly. Standing there looking over the landscape, the thought crosses your mind; "am I on earth, or is this mars?"

Shadows of ancient lava

The moss-covered lava flow of berserkjahraun, located on snaefellsnes peninsula, iceland. This lava flow is 3600-4000 years old, and has connections to the saga. It's quite amazing how raw and rough a lava flow is after such a long time. I guess, geologically, its the blink of an eye.

Get it while its hot!

We walked on the Leirhnjúkshraun lava flow near the Krafla geothermal area by Mývatn. This area erupted in 1985, leaving a large expanse of very rough lava flows, cones, and craters. The area is still cooling, and some spots are still steaming. The first picture is developed in black and white, the second in color.
