Pictured here is the Jökulgil valley, which leads through the Icelandic Mountains located in the central interior of the country. The area is an uninhabited volcanic desert, and the mountains consists mainly of Rhyolite, an igneous rock that contains minerals like iron and sulphur. Once these minerals are exposed to air, they oxidize, transforming into a variety of colors from grey and black to red and pink.
