Landmannalaugar, Iceland

National Geographic Photo of the Day for September 13, 2012

The first beams of a June day spotlight a ridge of rusty volcanic rhyolite at Landmannalaugar, a hikers’ favorite. The Haarbergs hiked up to an overlook after midnight; at dawn, around 3 a.m., the clouds gave them a tiny break. “Five minutes and it was over,” says Orsolya.
