Colourful Iceland

Much of the scenery might as well be on the surface of the moon, but there are many vibrant splashes of colour in this rocky, lava-filled volcanic country. This scene is immediately adjacent to a steaming, bubbling geothermic site, much reminiscent of my fairly recent visit to Rotorua (NZ), including the pungent odour of sulphur which permeates the atmosphere.
Iceland is a sparsely-populated country with a total of some 332,000 inhabitants, most of whom live in and around the capital, Rejkjavik.
