Hálslón Reservoir and Mount Snæfell, Iceland

Iceland, Eastern Region, Highlands, Kárahnjúkavirkjun. A dramatic view of the Hálslón Reservoir and the expansive earthen embankment of the Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Plant. The milky glacial waters sit calmly before the engineering structure, while the snow-streaked peak of Mount Snæfell rises majestically in the background under a heavy, overcast sky. This image captures the intersection of massive industrial infrastructure and the raw, volcanic wilderness of the Icelandic highlands.
