My reward for traversing several hours of barren desert in Iceland's
central highlands was an oasis called Hveravellir, a steaming,
bubbling, otherworldly landscape filled with geothermal oddities. I
arrived in the dark, but by 3:00 a.m. the rising summer sun revealed
an array of colorful features, the centerpiece of which was this pool
of intensely blue water cupped in white silica. Beneath dark clouds
and in a light rain, a four second tripod-mounted exposure through a
standard polarizer rendered the surface of the steaming pool smooth
and transparent, allowing the natural coloration of its mineral-laden
liquid to shine through.
