Norðurbarmur, Landmannalaugar, Iceland

Description:
Another view of the ridge seen in Noršurbarmur and Flowers, this time from the south.
This image gives a hint of the dramatic nature of the location. The mountains are rhyolite, some covered with green moss. The green/orange color combination and the highly sculpted nature of the valleys have a surreal look.
The sun is spotlighting the river in the middle distance through this incredible break in the overcast. The foreground lava field is steeped in shadow, and it doesn't take much imagination to picture an army of trolls marching down from the mountains.
