Iceland is home to some of the best volcanic spots in the World. Stay on the boardwalks and don’t go wandering around though – nearly every year someone ignores the signs and gets into trouble. I wanted to show the steam with the volcanic debris and ash surrounding the boardwalk (without any people) to give a sense of the sparseness and color these areas have. The stream running through the area was boiling hot as well.
