Eldhraun Lava Fields

Situated along Iceland’s south coast, Eldhraun is the largest lava flow in the world. Created during the Laki eruption in the late 18th century, the enormous 565-square-kilometer site is of both historic and geologic importance as well as being a place to explore the persistence of Icelandic flora and fauna. It is also the place where the Apollo 11 crew trained for their impending moonwalk in 1969 for its similarity to the surface of the moon. Mix of visible light and infrared photography.
