I photographed these amazing dessication cracks (mud cracks!) near Myvatyn, Iceland on a Colorado College Geology Department field trip. My first time to Iceland but hopefully not my last

Welcome back Stephen to the newly reincarnated NPN 2.0! A MOSAIC of mud cracks. Love the color combo and the patterns/lines are wonderful. Complimentary sky and overall a wonderful near/far comp.

Good to see you again, Stephen. Great crack patterns fading out the mountains and sky. Looks real good.
Thanks Lon! Yes I decided to come back to NPN.! 2.0 looks really great. David and Jennifer have done a great job revitalizing the site!
Thanks Harley! The site is looking really great and I will try to participate more regularly.
That’s quite a geology field trip! Where can I sign up. 
Well done, Geologists are such succors for mud cracks.
I hope you had a chance to hike in the Central Highlands. I can’t get enough of the colorful rhyolites.
Hey Bill
The trip was our Block One “Regional Geology” course with 11 students. We were there for 3 weeks and saw and studied some amazing geology. We did the complete ring road but unfortunately did not get into the highlands. They are on my list when I go back myself for photography hopefully sometime in the next few years.
Amazing colors for cracked mud.
I really love the warm and cool colors in the cracks, your processing of color here has a lot of impact. These cracks are an abstract photographer’s dream, and a jigsaw puzzlre’s nightmare. Really enjoying this image.
Thats insane. Great shot.

What a great find. I think I’ve actually been to this spot but in winter. You’ve also got a great abstract shot here without the sky.
