Snow-covered Hekla volcano
by Daniel Hölbling, Department of Geoinformatics - Z_GIS, University of Salzburg, Salzburg, Austria
The photograph captures the snow-covered Hekla volcano, one of the most famous volcanoes and an iconic landmark in Iceland, illuminated by the warm hues of late autumn. While the stratovolcano appears tranquil, the abundant volumes of lava and tephra in the foreground, which are remnants of past eruptions, speak of its tumultuous history of intense activity.
