The most Moon-like place on Earth
One may describe it as 'featureless' or a volcanic ash desert but like many deserts there is always beauty. And so with this panaroma in South Iceland. Very hard to capture the vastness and the aura in one shot. We learned that many of the Apollo astronauts including Neil Armstrong trained here before going to the Moon. It is indeed very moon-like. In fact 9 of the 12 astronauts who ever set foot on the Moon trained in Iceland.
