landscapes from your country

Thanks guys :) I'm a Vintersorg and Borknagar fan too, and found this forum when searching stuff in the net :headbang:

This topic kinda stood out, since I love nature a lot. I checked every post in this topic, and got really amazed by the beauty of all your pics guys ;)

I'm glad you liked the pics of my fatherland!

Keep posting more landscapes people! :)

Hahaha.. Thank you I guess.. plenty more of that

Here's one from last year, when I was hiking near Skaftafell national park. About three years ago 2 germans went climbing on the glacier seen on the picture.. never to be seen again.

Today I went hiking onto the glacier opposite to the one that erupted may-june. Lots of volcanic ash on it. It takes form as mud, dust or some kind of cocopuffs breakfast cereal. The hike was very variable and looked a bit like a journey through Mordor!

No sign of life.. but this light green moss brightens things up.

Treacherous cravasses here and there... but Frodo is intrepid...

Haha well I do fear planes, but I travel a lot too. Actually, I bought my ticket to Colorado yesterday. Wheee! Looking forward to it, it seems like a decent city —unlike most in the US *Texas* *cof* *cof—, with a fair amount of nature. But hey, you might as well get rid of that fear, it's still the safest way to travel.
 
Thanx.

There's a whole lot more reason to fear cars than planes...

Don't know what you mean by lunar landscapes in the Faroes.. no fresh lava there.

i mean that it's totally different from what i'm used to, lava or not, it looks very alien and unearthly to me, with all those cliffs, nude flat rocks and fluorescent green moss and stuff...

edit: yesterday i've seen a tv programm called ultimate survivor. a man is left in a desolate and wild place with only a knife and some water and has to survive using only his strenght and intelligence.
yestarday's episode was about iceland. that guy was left on a glacier in the south ovest and had to reach reykjavik...he wandered along this glacier, reached the valley, went through a geotermic area with boiling vulcanic water and finally reached the city. landscapes were amazing, and there was a lot of very strong wind, he said that there's a popular icelandic saying that says "if you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes and it will be worse" alluding to the extreme variability of icelandic weather.
i was really impressed by the wind, the guy nearly couldn't walk against it. is it really so windy there or only in some regions?
