View from a mountainside near the ranger station of Dreki in northern direction. The bright surface in front of the dark lava flow reminds of the 1875 eruption of the volcanic system Askja, with widespread pumice falls. The shield volcano Kollóttadyngja (1177 m) appears in the left background of the image.
