Message from Olga Kuzmenko

Eldhraun, located in South Iceland, is home to the largest lava flow in the world. This wondrous landscape is covered in a thick green carpet of woolly fringe moss, creating a serene and enchanting atmosphere. The area is dotted with volcanic rocks and craters, offering breathtaking views and a glimpse into Iceland's explosive history. Visitors can explore various trails, including the Mount Laki Summit Trail for an aerial view of the lava field. Just remember to tread lightly and stick to the marked paths to preserve this natural wonder.
