Iceland Lava Fields

Lava fields are very intersting as their color variation depends on age and minerals. The first growth is moss than later grass.The roots of the moss will start to break down the surface of the lava (whatever mixture it is) and grass will penetrate deeper.Both are important to create fertile soil.Then little herbs will start to grow....It's a beautiful process.
