Landmannalaugar, Highlands of Iceland
Landmannalaugar is a vast area of stunning and unique beauty in the heart of Iceland’s southern Highlands. Thanks to Theo Bosboom, Nordic Vison, for organising a Photo-trip to this truly rare area.
The dramatic region can be found nestled beside the raven-black Laugahraun lava field, a sweeping expanse of dried magma which originally formed in an eruption in 1477.
Landmannalaugar itself is made up of windswept rhyolite mountains, a rock type that creates a full spectrum of dazzling colour. Shades of red, pink, green, blue and golden yellow make for an ethereal location. Landmannalaugar was historically best known for its natural geothermal baths, hence its name the People’s Pools.
