Cliff Valley

Taken in small valley not far from Reykjavik, Iceland.

I think this place is called Stóri-Hamradalur (it is on the Djúpavatn / Vigdísarvellir road).

 

The valley is closed in both ends, and in the rainy Icelandic climate one would expect it to be filled with water and be another small lake, but there was no visible surface water anywhere. This is probably due to the extremely porous lava geology of this area, causing most of the water to flow deep underground.
