A Big Thankyou to
The Start - Landmannalaugar!
l 
One of Iceland's most special natural attractions, Landmannalaugar, lies nestling in a valley bounded by colourful, steep hills of rhyolite. Vegetation of various types has managed to gain a foothold around this oasis in what is otherwise a barren area. Hot and cold springs bubble up from under the edge of the Laugahraun lava, mixing to form a warm spring thar is popular with holidaymakers for relaxing in and washing off the dust of a day's travelling. The Creator was not stingy with his palette when he made Landmannalaugar: there is a great variety of colour to delight the eye. Landmannalaugar was declared a protected area in 1979, forming part of the Fjallabak Nature Reserve.
