This was taken in a full-on Atlantic Storm. You haven't lived until you've experienced torrential rain coming at you horizontally so fast that you can't see further than about 20 metres ahead of you.

Salton Sea is rich with geothermal resources, and the energy plants are everywhere.

You can see the steam from the geothermal activity and the water boiling beneath.

Nestled along the Reykjanes Peninsula, Krýsuvík is a striking geothermal field where the Earth hisses, bubbles, and steams. Surrounded by colorful rhyolite hills, the area features boiling mud pots, steaming fumaroles, and sulfur-stained terrain. It's part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where tectonic plates drift apart. Wooden boardwalks allow visitors to walk safely through this active landscape. The area is also home to nearby Kleifarvatn Lake

Seltún is a vibrant geothermal field located within the Krýsuvík . Known for its boiling mud pools, steaming fumaroles, and vividly colored earth, the site showcases intense geothermal activity just beneath the surface. Wooden boardwalks wind through the field, allowing safe exploration of this otherworldly landscape. The rich mineral deposits stain the ground in hues of red, yellow, green, and white, creating a dramatic visual display and making it a popular stop for photographers, geologists, and curious travelers.
