Earth Bit Lab — Iceland Series: Before the Map Ends
Most people see Iceland from the road. The waterfall everyone photographs. The lagoon everyone visits. The glacier everyone stands in front of.
These are not those places.
These are the ones the island kept for itself — the hidden canyon, the steaming valley, the lava cave that glows for no reason, the crater that shouldn't be that color. The Iceland that exists just past the point where most people turn back.
