Mensaje de Nicole Zohdi

Valahnjúkur Mountain is a cool spot on the Reykjanes Peninsula with some seriously interesting geology going on. It's made up of tuff layers, pillow lava, and breccia, all formed in a single eruption. Picture hot lava cooling super fast in water to create tuff, or lava erupting under water to form those funky pillow shapes. And don't forget about the breccia layer, where individual lava pillows have rolled down slopes and gotten covered in ash. Basically, Valahnjúkur is like a geological playground that shows off different phases of volcanic action in one epic mountain.
