Photo: @ChrisBurkard The Tungnaá River on the western edge of the Vatnajökull Glacier runs to meet the Þjórsá River. These tight glacial braids flow through the southern Icelandic Highlands. The colors are fueled by glacier flower meeting floral blooms. There is only about 1 month of the year where the color is this vibrant.
