Myvatn Pseudocraters

 Friday 28th February. We arrived at Myvatn in a blizzard but decided to have a walk to the pseudocraters. They are formed by steam explosions as flowing hot lava crosses over a wet surface, such as a swamp, a lake, or a pond. The explosive gases break through the lava surface and builds up crater-like forms which can appear very similar to real volcanic craters.  They were preparing for husky racing over the weekend.
I am looking forward to working on  these images and printing them - the subtle colouring and structures are difficult to portray digitally.
