These pictures
are from Thingvellir, Iceland. Here you can see the rifts created by
tectonic plate movement. These pictures are taken between the plates of
North America and Eurasia. This is also the site of Iceland's first
official government. When the settlers decided to create a singular
government, they searched the land and decided on this place to assemble
once a year to make laws and settle disputes.

Moss and Lava is such a great photograph because the scale could be pretty ambiguous. It's such a magical looking place I could believe it as a small crevice or a canyon with puffy rounded cliffs covered in bushes.
