Snow and ash in Iceland

by Daniel Garcia-Castellanos

Volcanic mountain in southern Iceland painted by snow and by the ash blown from the neighbour Eyjafjallajokull volcano. The Eyjafjallajokull erupted in 2010 disrupting the air traffic in most Europe for weeks. Iceland inspired Tolkien's fantasy in The Lord of the Rings.
