The amazing scenery of ice and fire coexisting on the earth

Ice and Fire * * * Unique scenery on the earth.

There are about 200 volcanoes in Iceland, at least 30 of which have erupted after Iceland settled, totaling more than 150 times. Due to the long-term volcanic activity in Iceland, fossils are extremely scarce, so the identification of geological age is generally limited to the use of radioactive isotopes contained in rocks.

The most violent eruption occurred at Hekla Peak, which initially spewed out a lot of rocks and volcanic ash and reached the stratosphere. The sky around the volcano darkened. The wind in the upper atmosphere blows some volcanic slag and ash to Scandinavia 1600 km east of Iceland.

Geysers in Iceland are more famous than volcanoes and glaciers. Geysers are geological landscapes closely related to volcanic activity. There are many geysers in Iceland, among which the big geyser is the most representative. The Grand Geyser is located on the plain more than 0/00 kilometers northeast of Reykjavik, the capital. It used to be a big fountain area, with hot springs everywhere on the ground, steaming and smoky.
