Photo: @ChrisBurkard I've been chasing the Maelifell Volcano in Iceland’s Landmannalaugar for almost 4 years. There is only about a month or two out of the year that it blooms bright green and isn't covered in snow. This last August I finally caught it in all its glory. The Mýrdalsjökull glacier is in the background.
