Tjarnagígur

Tjarnagígur
After it had emptied of lava one of the craters in the Laki crater row filled with ground water. The note shows the depression where the lava ran off.

In the bottom right corner of the main photo you can see what visitor pressure does to the vegetation. Now there's a new viewing platform and leaving the paths is strictly forbidden.

Interessant und bemerkenswert welche 'Bauwerke' die Natur so zustande bringt und wie man auch hier sieht, stört eigentlich nur die Menschheit...

Herzlichen Dank, Udo! Du sagst es, die Menschheit zertrampelt eigektlich so ziemlich alles....

Wie unbedeutend der Mensch im Grunde genommen doch ist, zeigen solche Bilder. Entwicklungsgeschichtlich nicht mehr als eine kurze Episode in einem dicken Buch voller Wunder. Die sogenannt Krone der Schöpfung will sich so etwas natürlich nicht gern eingestehen; vielleicht wird ihre größte Leistung sein, dass sie sich selbst von der Bildfläche entfernt. Und der Natur wieder sich selbst überläßt, ihre Wunden leckt und ungestört vor sich hin existiert !

Danke vielmals, Ulrich! Wie wahr, die Menschheit ist fleißig dabei, den Ast, auf dem sie sitzt, abzusägen. Ich denke, die Erde käme sehr gut ohne uns aus...

Schönen Dank, Edna! Zum Schwimmen wär's da sicher ein bisschen kühl, meines Wissens ist das nicht geothermisch "beheizt";-)

Besten Dank, Uwe! Das Moos ist extrem empfindlich, da geht das ganz schnell... zum Regnerieren braucht''s dagegen vele Jahrzehnte.

Two great pictures here. I know that our peaks and mountains are eroded with visitor trails too.

Enjoy your weekend. Herb

Thank you, Herb!
Yes, I remember the footpaths in the Lakes or the Dales- either a river of stones or a boggy mess... And the paths they had repaired were stony and not pleasant to walk on.

Das ist faszinierend! Danke für diese faszinierenden Bilder!
Und ich gebe Ulrich recht. Wir sollten uns in Bescheidenheit gegenüber dieser gewaltigen Naturgeschichte üben.

Gudrun club has replied to cp_u club
Herzlichen Dank, cp! Wir in Mitteleurpa haben uns zu weit von der Natur entfernt, bei den Isländern sieht das (noch) anders aus, die leben täglich damit.

More fascinating and beautifully detailed images of the geological make-up of the Icelandic landscape. Something you can only guess at unless you've actually been there.

I really like both of these, but the main image with the lovely still water is just gorgeous.

I'm pretty sure people don't damage the vegetation deliberately, they probably just don't understand how precious it is (at least I hope that is the case).

Gudrun club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you so much, Keith! I agree, most tourists probably don't know that even their footsteps can destroy so much. That's why rangers are patrolling the National Parks. Justin Bieber hasn't been helpful, he made a video where he dances on such moss covered lava- he shouldn't have been allowed to film that in the first place...

Über die zerstörischer Einfluss der sogenanten intelligente Homo Sapiens kann man bisweilen ja viele, viele Bücher schreiben und lesen.Wie einige ja schon geschrieben haben, die Natur käme ohne die menschen gut klar. Vor eine Wochen waren wir im Gasometer Die zerbrechliche Erde, sehr zu empfehlen.

Gudrun club has replied to Ko Hummel club
Besten Dank, Ko! Von der Gasometer-Ausstellung habe ich gehört, hoffentlich besuchen die viele und nehmen sich das zu Herzen! Die meisten meinen leider immer noch, die "Reichen", die "Konzerne" und generell die anderen sollen zuerst mal anfangen, sich anders zu benehmen....

Thanks a lot, George! In many places in Iceland the vegetation is very fragile and visitors often don't realize this.

A wonderful and isolated place, once discovered and photographed, becomes a popular tourist area and the place is no longer so wonderful and isolated. Then action is required, urgently, to prevent further deterioration. In this case the necessary action has been taken, We are all guilty in one way or another, the world is shrinking and travel is once again on the cards after 2.5 years of isolation. Yet who can blame tourists when they see stunning photos like this, Gudrun? Iceland remains on my bucket list.

Gudrun club has replied to Amelia club
Thank you so much, Amelia! Actually, this specific place isn't overvisited because it takes a long day in a high clearance 4x4 to reach it, places on the ring road suffer much worse. But it just shows how vulnerable the vegetation is!
