 Kleifarvatn partly frozen.

Kleifarvatn is the largest lake on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland, situated in the southern part of the peninsula on the fissure zone of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The lake can be reached via a track, and there are two areas with high temperature can be found not far from it: Seltún/Krýsuvík and another to the east. The lake's greatest depth is 97 m.

After the big earthquake in 2000, the lake began to diminish, and 20% of its surface has since disappeared.

The cracks that opened up in the earthquake have since then slowly filled again and by 2008 the lake had regained its previous surface level.

Really cool shot - Iceland appears to be appropriately named in this shot

Oh, you'd be very wet and cold indeed if you'd venture out on it.

It looks so smooth as if I stepped on it, I would most likely slip and fall. The light reflection gives it lift and life.

Wonderful with the subtle light, the patterns in the ice and the mountains in the background, although they could use a little bit more space on the top.
