Pseudocrater at Myvatn in Iceland

My thoughts on this image

The pseudo-crater Skútustaðagígar at the beautiful Lake Myvatn in North Iceland was formed by steam explosions over a lava flow. I find the contrast between the yellowish grasses and the deep black volcanic ash particularly attractive. The sweeping view across the lake to the snow-capped mountains is magnificent.
