Nature's Newest Path: The Nýifoss Surge

Iceland, South Region, Bláskógabyggð, Nýifoss. Milky-white glacial water surges through the jagged, dark basalt tiers of Nýifoss, a waterfall formed by the 1939 glacial flood from Lake Hagavatn. The image highlights the raw, erosive force of the water as it carves through the stark volcanic landscape of the Icelandic Highlands.
