Kárahnjúkar Hydroelectric Dam and Hálslón Reservoir, Iceland

Iceland, East Region, Fljótsdalshérað, Kárahnjúkar Dam. A dramatic aerial view of the massive Kárahnjúkastífla dam holding back the silt-heavy, glacial waters of the Hálslón reservoir. Heavy storm clouds loom over the barren Icelandic highlands, creating a stark contrast between this colossal feat of modern engineering and the rugged, remote wilderness surrounding it.
