The Maelifell Volcano, Iceland
Surrounded in hot springs, this beautiful moss-covered volcano found in southern island is a major attraction. Standing 800 meters tall, it’s classified as an extinct strata volcano that hasn’t erupted in over 10,000 years. In the colder months, this volcano is hardly visible because it’s covered in snow. Once the snow starts to melt, the moss covering the volcano is grey. As the summer brings in warmer weather the moss changed to a bright distinct green. It rests as a hot spot on the Mid-Atlantic ridge. This volcano will stand for centuries more, and will forever be a beautiful attraction.
