13. Reykjadalur (Steam Valley), Near Hveragerði, South Iceland

Reykjadalur. A valley where the earth breathes visibly. You hike in and find a warm river running through the middle of nowhere — and you wonder why anyone ever leaves.

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.

Say, I’ve noticed quite the lack of a steampunk AU in the moomin fandom. So, I fixed it up. I’m planning on calling it ‘SteamValley’ (I’m amazing with names ahah). Here’s the first official character, Snufkin! Here’s to if you can’t read it:

-He has a mechanical leg too

-Mechanical hand has Harmonica, fishing pole, & switchblade

-Eyepatch/eye is a scanner and a telescope

-Lost his tail in an incident with a tiger

Royalty AU sentence starters!
