Back in Iceland
I'm back in Iceland for a couple weeks of field work and thought I'd post some pics. It's not all geology, though! I just finished laying out a kilt this evening for one of you XMarkers at a table in the place we're staying, and I could turn my head and look out the window at Hekla volcano. What a place!
A bit if a cold, rainy field day:
A long trek across remote country:
It's without a doubt one of my favorite places on Earth. The landscape is just so exotic, and there are so many remote places where you could tromp around for days on end without seeing a soul.

Wonderful photos Barb, thanks for them.

Barb,
"Exotic" doesn't quite cover it. This looks to me like the landscape of some other world!

The place we're working has a bit of a Lord-of-the-Rings feel to it, that's for sure!

Wow. In the picture Panache quoted, it's eerie how far the landscape goes on...and how small the people are in the photo.
Thank you for sharing your trip with us.

In the scary scenes, maybe. And why are you walking around where there are no souls but your own?
