The North

The northern part of Iceland is relative hard for lives, the environment and the weather are harsh. More valcanic activities are present here, therefore not many plants can survive here, especially the big ones. This land is covered by black lavastones, and yellow small grass which managed to survive between them. At night, there are always storms. Wind comes from far away, blowing through the land without any resistance, and huge raindrops fall like crazy, as if trying to destroy everything on the ground... But in the morning, when the sun shines again in the blue sky, it is hard then to imagine such a terrible night...
