Into the Wild

I couldn't come up with a better title, so I borrowed the title from the 2007 movie by the same name.  It summed up my trek in the Icelandic Highlands this past July.  A big winter and a cold spring left huge expanses of snow and a much more wild experience.  Thermal vents left pockets of green mosses, precarious snow bridges and bubbling steam brooks.  I kept a safe distance away from this backpacker so as not to be accused of stalking, while still being close enough to include her into shots for the purpose of scale and a human element.
