Iceland Volcano and highlands

I think everyone is fascinated with volcanoes. How can you not be? In the past, they were considered portals to the underworld, which in a sense they are! When you realize the extreme conditions needed to melt rock and make it shoot up tens of meters in the air, you cannot imagine anything similar in any known environment.Volcanoes are uniquely beautiful. The red and orange colors of the lava are a magnet to the eye, especially when combined with the usual black volcanic earth all around. Add clouds of ash and the formations of the eruption itself, and sometimes even other elements such as water—and you have a very beautiful combination. In addition, volcanic landscapes are changing landscapes, meaning they always look different after some time. They allow more and more original imagery to be made in the same location.

Gunnuhver Hot Springs a highly active geothermal area of mud pools and steam vents on the southwest part of the Reykjanes Peninsula. Named after an angry female ghost, Gudrun, whose spirit was trapped in the hot springs by a priest 400 years ago, the steamy area has an eerie atmosphere and an incredible sulphur vapor.Gunnuhver Hot Springs a highly active geothermal area of mud pools and steam vents on the southwest part of the Reykjanes Peninsula.
