Landmannalaugar

Highlands, Iceland — 63.9921°N, 19.0633°W

A highland oasis of rainbow-coloured rhyolite mountains, natural hot springs and obsidian lava fields in the Fjallabak Nature Reserve. The landscape's extraordinary colours — reds, greens, yellows and blacks — make it unlike anywhere else on Earth, and film productions use it to suggest alien or fantasy realms.
