I mentioned Dimmuborgir ("Dark Fortress") a couple times in my Iceland posts, but failed to describe it well -- a vast field of gnarly black volcanic pillars and ridges and shelves. The sort of rocks that look like trolls who didn't get home before sunrise. Nor did we take particularly good pictures.

Here are some better ones, from [livejournal.com profile] strangie23's vacation/wedding/honeymoon photo album. Yes, they got married in Dimmuborgir. In a lava tube cave. I'm jealous. That's even better than getting a marriage license at the bail window of the county jail.

Thanks Larry. I have added all of the links to by Travel favorites. Perhaps someday I will go. Looks great.

I disagree; some of those are fantastic.

Well, I have never been to Dimmuborgir; so I found the photographs beautiful. They look like pictures of some otherworld.
