Landmannalaugar (meaning: hot springs in the land of the people from the Land area (an area around the place Hella)) is a valley in the interior of Iceland, to the east and not far from the famous volcano the Hekla. The valley is known for its rhyolite rocks. The surrounding ryolite mountains are very colorful: yellow, red, brown and gray-green. Characteristic of this rock is that a small amount of sunlight brightens up the mountains as it were, which often makes them look "clear". The lava field Laugahraun, which opens into the valley, contains much of the rare obsidian, a black glassy rock that is also called volcanic glass. At the foot of the lava field, hot and cold springs spring. The hot sulfur springs end up in a brook, and make it possible to bathe here even in cold weather. The area is part of the nature reserve Fjallabak.

Landscape and Nature photography has always been my favorite subject, especially Italy, Scotland and Iceland are my favorite countries. I hope you will like my photographs.
