Volcano scouting
First day in Iceland I went from the airport straight to the car rental and then drove for 2 hours to Eyjafjallajökull. While driving I kept looking in the distance as the cloud of ash should have poped up in the horizon any second. It never did. The clouds and the ash around it made it seem like just mist. SO when I got there I knew I arrived from the surroundings. Streets covered in wind blown ash, deserted little villages and most of all the strange sound that could be heard up un the mountain. I think because of this the feeling was much more spectacular. Later on, as the sun began to set and wind to settleI was able to see the huge cloud of ash rising on top of the mountaintop and clouds. After my tour of the mountain on walked roads I decided do take a night drive on the wild and closed part that was the back side of the volcano. I asked around and recieved a lot of mixed info so at one point I just followed a huge 4×4 that was going off road and the only possible destination was the one I was looking for. Unfortunately the volcano was quiet that night. No lava was coming out, just ash. I waited there until 2.00 AM and returned on the main road.

Blowing some steam
Beneath this steaming ground lies the great ring of fire. There is boiling water coming out and the area is closed to public.

Wallpapers
Besides the new layout and functionality, upon requests I added a wallpapers category that you can access from the top menu. You can download them for the most common screen resolutions and use them for non commercial purposes, without removing the watermark. Here are the first 3, from Iceland:

The wild north
Ok, I removed the teaser post on the reason of being too “fitos” 
. So, here starts the photo series from my 8 days trip to Iceland. The most beautiful, wildest and natural place I have ever seen. No word can describe the feeling of being there, witness to something probably very similar to what the world looked like millions of years ago. But I’ll come back to writing another time.
Here is lake Jökulsárlón, the biggest glacial lake in Iceland, a recent one that came with the fast melting of the Vatnajökull glacier, and still growing in size. The ice comes sliding from the mountains (you can see the river of ice in the first picture, in the background), onto the lake and then the ocean. One of the most beautiful sights on earth, especially on sunset. Like I said, the sun didn’t actually set, being a polar day, it just went a little bit under the horizon.
