Iceland, the most alien-like country. Iceland does not look like Earth and is officially certified. In order to train astronauts to land on the moon, NASA searched for a place in the world that looked the most like the moon. Among more than 230 countries and regions, Iceland was chosen, a country with a cold name.
Iceland at the end of the earth is a prehistory, apocalypse, a different world, and outer space in the movie. Below, are the 9 places where Iceland is most like outer space. After reading it, let's leave the surface of the earth together.
1. Giant Rocky Black Sand Beach
Even the beach is a lonely color.
Black often gives people a feeling of depression, but in Iceland's most famous black beach, the "sand" comes from volcanic lava. After being carved by the sea breeze and waves, the black basalt becomes black sand. It's dark and deep, with a spotless sense of mystery. Premium frosty tones that bring out the ultimate loneliness in Iceland.
2. Active volcanoes
Go deep into the heart of the earth, the most heroic poem of the earth.
It is no exaggeration to say that Iceland is a country in the making. It is a vast volcanic laboratory with powerful forces that shape the planet. Iceland's volcanoes do not sleep, and more than 100 active volcanoes are always restless, so it has become the only country in the world that can go deep into the interior of volcanoes. Such a purgatory-like spectacle of the apocalypse, there is a hint of danger and a hint of temptation.
3. Volcanic rivers under the interaction of ice and lava
This is Impressionism by Van Gogh.
It may be hard to believe that this photo is a real picture and not a painting by some master, this is an aerial shot of a river in a volcanic area in Iceland. The water meanders through the black volcanic sand and finally into the sea. These rivers have indescribable colors, lines and textures, but every stroke is superb.
4. Route 1 in Iceland
A one-way street with no turning back, to the end of the world.
Iceland, a country of only 103,000 square meters, has no trains, no subways, and although there are buses, there are few trips. There are also very few roads in Iceland. This No. 1 road forms a large circle, encircling the whole of Iceland, and there is only one one-way lane. So, hit the accelerator and walk away without looking back.
5. Hollywood blockbuster movie location: Ice Tongue
In the folds of the glaciers, there are thoughts from 100 million years ago.
It is the northern border where winter is approaching in "Game of Thrones", it is also the magical world of drag racing in "Fast and Furious 8", and it is also the planet of Mann in "Interstellar", after crossing the wormhole. But if you really walk through the ice tongue, across the ice surface, and across the ice crevice, you will still feel the insignificance of human beings and the vastness of nature.
6. The blue ice cave under the dome
It used to be domineering, but now it is bottomless.
In Iceland, the ice that makes up glaciers is thicker, tighter, and has a much older history than ordinary ice. In summer, the glacier melts, cuts the bottom of the glacier, and forms an underground passage, which solidifies in winter and becomes an ice cave. The special texture allows the glacier to absorb other colors in the spectrum other than blue, which makes the blue more pure.
7. Blue Lagoon Hot Springs
This is the world's top health resort.
The Blue Lagoon is another name for Iceland, and it is worth every woman traveling thousands of miles. Some people even take a car to the Blue Lagoon to have a bubble when they change planes in Iceland for a few hours. This is a natural beauty salon, a gift from heaven to the world.
8. Encounter the Northern Lights
The ultimate traveler's dream.
The Eskimos believe that the aurora is the ghost that guides the souls of the dead to the torch of heaven; in Norse mythology, the aurora is the brilliance of the shield of the Valkyrie as she flies in the sky. No matter which legend is true, it is certain that everyone who has seen the aurora with their own eyes will tell you that no single photo can express its beauty with certainty.
9. A thousand two-meter-high diamond beaches
Coming here, you can write a poem for every piece of ice.
Black sand, where the ice is crystal clear, and the sun shines on it, making it shine like a diamond. Your heart roars with the waves as they slap against the ice. Those who have experienced it can still think of the cold, clear, blue, calm and transparent in countless nights before bed.
