Yellow sediments delivered from farmland by small streams mix with the vivid blue ocean among the rustic islands created by lava flows in Southern Iceland, near the town of Stokkseyri.

The Bjórsárum, in South Iceland, is the world’s greatest lava flow covering 975 square km. After the volcanic eruption, 9000 years ago, the lava flowed 140 km from the Icelandic highlands towards the sea, only stopped by the cold Atlantic Ocean.

Now, along the the 20 km long coastline between Stokkseyri and Eyrarbakki, from above we can appreciate colourful mash-ups made by small grass-covered islands, river sediments and ocean waves.
