The waterfall at the end.
To walk on the paths on the right and the left, you need quite a bit of courage, the ground looks very unstable and the sides are very steep.

1234. Strange that the moss is growing on the steep part, you would expect it on the bottom which is less steep. The steep part is much more subject to erosion.

1222. Laki.
Moss-covered lava field 2.
Icelandic moss can have all kinds of hues. When it is dry it has a greyish tone, but with one drop of water it immediately changes back to green.
Here it has a very warm hue because of the evening light.
