Iceland is a diverse and ever changing landscape of volcanic activity. Five geothermal plants generate a vast majority of the country's heating and power need. The land is also rancid with volcanic features, such as fumaroles, hot springs, and the original geyser, Geysir. The red skies in some of the images below comes from the eruption of the Bárðarbunga volcano high up on the Vatnajökull, Iceland's largest glacier.
Any arduous journey should have its peaceful moments too, I highly recommend beaches to bookend a long expedition. I knew the 4 months I'd be trekking and traversing SE Asia would be rough on me, so I started my trip lazily on the paradise of Phuket, and ended it with a well deserved respite on Koh Tao, days filled with shipwreck diving, $3 massages, and dirtbiking around the islands rough terrain.
