The Land of Ice and Fire

My photo was taken at the Snaefellsness Peninsula in Western Iceland

This shot of Snaefellsjokull reminds us of the volcanic origin of Iceland. This volcano and its ice cap inspired Jules Verne in his writing of The Journey to the Centre of the Earth. It invites the adventurers to…

Descend into the crater of Yocul of Sneffels,

Which the shade of Scartaris caresses,

Before the Kalends of July, audacious traveller,

And you will reach the centre of the earth. I did it.
