Description
Iceland is filled with interesting rock sculptures, lava formations, volcanoes and mountains of all shapes and sizes.
In the Westfjords you can find high table-top mountains with narrow fjords in between but the mountains by the fjords in the east of the country are more rugged and harsh.
Iceland is situated right on top of two tectonic plates and is also on one of so-called hot spots on earth, with intense volcanic activity and frequent earthquakes happening.
Volcanoes have many different types of lava, for example smooth and fast running lava, thick and slowly crawling lava or spitting lava.
These different types of lava will cool into different types of mountains, stones and rock formations with different textures, thickness, colours and weight.
All in all, Iceland is the geologist’s paradise.
