Lava fields, born from a terrible eruption of the Lakagigar, and covered with a thick moss of greenish-grey color.

Even further east on road 1, the Elðraun lava stretches as far as the eye can see. Without a blade of grass and even less a tree, it is quite lunar. These lava fields, born from the terrible eruption of Lakagígar, are covered with a thick greenish-grey moss, a strange vegetation that accentuates the cataclysmic aspect of the site. Although it may be tempting, do not walk on the moss and stay on the marked paths! It is indeed a fragile ecosystem, which would take years to rebuild if you step on it.

mousse verte à perte de vue
Paysage très étrange avec une mousse verte épaisse qui s'étend sur les champs de lave par petits monticules. La couleur est d'un vert intense.

Très beau champs de lave, paysage lunaire. Un plaisir pour les amateurs de photographie. Une ambiance de "commencement du monde"!

Un mot: Spectacle. La route est bordée d'un défilé de paysages désertiques impressionnants, depuis les "champs" de coulées de laves, aux champs de fleurs violettes, en passant par les champs de cailloux ou bombes volcaniques ou encore des petits monts à aspect "lunaire", et avec au loin sur un côté les glaciers et falaises et de l'autre parfois la mer.
Je recommande vivement de passer par cette route et de s'arrêter parfois sur les aires de pic nique ou aires de repos pour prendre quelques photos.
