14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Highlands Reflection

My wife, 2 year old, andI had spent 2 nights in Landmannalaugar hiking and soaking in the hot springs. We chose to drive F208 south towards Vik. This is a route requiring 4 wheel drive notorious for many river crossings. We turned the corner to see this perfect reflection. We were able to spend about 30 minutes here before the winds picked up and eliminated the reflection.
