About this postcard

Landmannalaugar sits in the Fjallabak Nature Reserve in the southern highlands of Iceland. The extraordinary colours of the mountains here are caused by rhyolite — volcanic rock cooled slowly enough to develop mineral compounds that produce reds, oranges, yellows, and greens across the hillsides. The effect from the air is almost hallucinatory: mountains that look hand-painted.

The area is accessible only by four-wheel drive in summer and is entirely cut off in winter. It's the starting point for the famous Laugavegur hiking trail, a four-day walk through some of the most remote and dramatic landscape in Europe. This aerial photograph shows the highlands as they really are: a landscape that looks like the inside of a geological sample, scaled up to the size of a country. Sent with a genuine Icelandic stamp.

Every Postcard.is design is a real image from Iceland — a place whose landscapes range from glaciers and waterfalls to volcanic deserts and midnight-sun coastlines. We print each card on quality postcard stock, add your personal message, and post it directly from Iceland with a genuine Icelandic stamp and postmark.
