by Tom Winder, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Looking west from a seismic station north of Sveðja, close to Vatnajökull in the Icelandic Highlands. The smaller ice cap at Hofsjökull is visible on the horizon. This view captures the vast expanse and lunar-like emptiness of the interior of Iceland.
