Ljótipollur

We visited the explosion crater of Ljótipollur on our way out of the Icelandic highlands. Fascinating is the color contrast between the red crater walls and the old volcanic vent, which is covered with moss in a corner of the lake. Fortunately, there were two swans in the lake, so the scale of these rock structures becomes clear.

I love the colors of the Icelandic highlands — often black, lush green when it rains, and always yellow and red!
