Iceland. Infrared photo of the extinct volcano Snaefell, the highest peak on the Snaefellsnes peninsula on the west coast of Iceland in July 1973

---

Iceland in July 1973 long before it became a popular tourist destination for nature lovers. The image is of a scanned 35mil transparency from Kodak Infrared film when colour is seen as an opposite apart from blue hence the red is actually green foliage, but since its a photograph of Snaefell the highest peak on the Snaefell peninsula on the west of Iceland and a previous volcano it looks like the mountain side is flowing with hot molten lava.
