Grænihryggur

A shock in green.

This cyan-green rhyolite ridge is one of the many jewels in the Highlands of Iceland. I took these photos a few weeks ago during a flight over the area.

The Icelandic word is a compound of Grænn (= green) and hryggur (= spine/ridge).

PS: See this later post for a more compelling view.
