Lavascape

On through the uncanny, distorted lavascape cautiously we fared under a cloud-rifted sky, and finally left the horses in a small corral of quarried lava, thence proceeding afoot to the House of Fire.

The barrier protected this knob of native Hawaiian forest, which continues to rise above the surreal lavascape around it.

In the midst of the spooky black lavascape that is Reykjanes, the ethereal blue waters of these enormous manmade hot springs seem absolutely weird and strangely inviting.
