About this postcard

Iceland's lava fields look like they cooled last week. Some of them did. Others are thousands of years old, now colonised by a deep, cushion-soft moss that turns the black landscape an almost unreal green. Walking on these fields is forbidden in most areas — the moss takes centuries to establish and is destroyed in moments.

This postcard is about Iceland's peculiar mix of the violent and the delicate: molten rock and soft moss, fire and growth, a landscape that has been both destroyed and remade many times over. Printed and posted from Iceland 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.
