Iceland Eldhraun
The vast Eldhraun lava field (“Fire Lava“) was created in one of the greatest eruptions in recorded history. The area covered by the lava and thus not usable for more than 200 years is not only inconceivably large. It is also overgrown with a very special moss in large areas. Up to half a meter thick is this cushion, which makes the bizarrely cooled lava appear cuddly.
