We drove by this on the way to our first house and decided we would check it out the text morning.
The Eldhraun lava field is the biggest lava flow in the world. It occurred during the Laki eruption of the late 1700s. The site is 218 square miles. The Apollo 11 crew trained here for their moonwalk.
The lava is covered with Wooly Fringe Moss that takes 100 years to grow. Justion Bieber filmed a music video here and some of the dances trampled the moss, idiots.
It feels like you are on another planet.
The red in the picture below is from people going off trail and killing the moss. Thanks Justin.
HAPPY TRAILS, STEVE
